评估随机对照试验 (RCT) 的质量非常重要，而且相对较新。质量使我们能够估计结果是对事实的有效估计的可能性。我们提供了为评估质量而开发的带注释的量表和清单参考书目。已经制定了二十五个量表和九个清单来评估二元性。检查表最有用的是为研究人员提供关于报告 RCT 中应包含哪些信息的指南。这些量表为读者提供了所报告的方法和结果不存在偏见的可能性的定量指数。这些量表存在一些缺点。如果评估所有试验的共同问题，如果量表易于使用，并且如果其开发足够严格，那么未来的量表开发可能是最有益的。
Assessing the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is important and relatively new. Quality gives us an estimate of the likelihood that the results are a valid estimate of the truth. We present an annotated bibliography of scales and checklists developed to assess quality. Twenty-five scales and nine checklists have been developed to assess duality. The checklists are most useful in providing investigators with guidelines as to what information should be included in reporting RCTs. The scales give readers a quantitative index of the likelihood that the reported methodology and results are free of bias. There are several shortcomings with these scales. Future scale development is likely to be most beneficial if questions common to all trials are assessed, if the scale is easy to use, and if it is developed with sufficient rigor.
