  • Literature survey of high-impact journals revealed reporting weaknesses in abstracts of diagnostic accuracy studies

    2015, Journal of Clinical Epidemiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    The review team consisted of four researchers, all of them part of the STARD group (D.A.K., with 2 years of experience, J.F.C., with 4 years of experience, and L.H. and P.M.M.B., each with more than 10 years of experience in performing literature reviews of diagnostic accuracy studies). First, a longlist of 36 potentially relevant items was generated based on the STARD statement [20], the CONSORT for Abstracts checklist [4], the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) for Abstracts checklist [5], QUADAS-2 (Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies) [21], existing guidance on the structured reporting and the assessment of the quality of journal abstracts in general [22–25], and previous studies evaluating the content of abstracts of diagnostic accuracy studies [13,14] (Appendix A at www.jclinepi.com). After this, each item on the longlist was discussed within the review team, and a subset of items deemed most relevant was selected based on general consensus.

  • Reporting of trials presented in conference abstracts needs to be improved

    2006, Journal of Clinical Epidemiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    A checklist was devised to extract and compare information in the abstracts with information in the corresponding full publications (Table 1). The checklist was adapted from existing reporting standards such as the CONSORT statement, for improving the quality of journal reports of randomized trials [5], and guidance on the structured reporting of journal abstracts and short reports [6,7]. Two reviewers independently read each conference abstract and full publication and recorded information for each item on the checklist, describing any differences.
