To avoid scale-up of interventions with smaller than perceived impact, complete and accurate reporting of expected impact is needed. This is of great importance in global health research to protect precious resources. In global health, the cluster randomised trial (CRT) design is commonly used to evaluate complex, multicomponent interventions and outcomes are often binary. Complete reporting of impact for binary outcomes means reporting both relative and absolute measures. We conducted a systematic review to assess reporting practices and potential to overstate impact in contemporary CRTs with primary binary outcome. Of 73 CRTs, most (82.2%) had incomplete reporting. Of 64 CRTs for which it was possible to evaluate, most (62.5%) were assessed as at risk of reporting in such a way that impact could be overstated. Care is needed to report complete evidence of impact for the many interventions evaluated using the CRT design around the globe.
