目标。评价太极文献中发表的随机临床试验(RCT)在2001年COSORT指南发表后的报道质量。数据源。Ovid MEDLINE和PubMed数据库。复习方法。为了调查文献中太极随机对照试验的一般特征,我们纳入了符合以下条件的任何报告:(I)它是试验的原始报告;(Ii)它的设计是随机对照试验;(Iii)被测试的其中一种疗法是太极;以及(Iv)它是英文的。此外,我们评估了2002至2007年间发表的随机对照试验的报告质量,使用了一份由40个项目组成的经修改的CONSORT检查表。这些试验中对太极干预措施的适当描述与先前综述中改编的10项清单进行了对照。结果。检索发现了从2002年到2007年发表的31篇太极RCT,而在1992-2001年间只有11篇。在2002-2007年间发表的试验中,报道最充分的标准与背景、参与者资格和对研究结果的解释有关。尽管如此,报告最差的项目是与随机化分配隐藏、随机化的实施以及招募和后续行动周期的定义有关。此外,只有23%的随机对照试验提供了试验中使用的太极干预的足够细节。结论。这篇综述的结果表明,太极干预试验的报告质量不是最优的。需要有实质性的改进,才能满足CONSORT准则并允许评估证据的质量。我们认为,不仅是研究人员,而且期刊编辑、审稿人和资助机构都需要遵循CONSORT指南,以提高研究标准,并加强太极以及补充和替代医学的证据基础。
Objectives. To evaluate the reporting quality of published randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in the Tai Chi literature following the publication of the CONSORT guidelines in 2001. Data Sources. The OVID MEDLINE and PUBMED databases. Review Methods. To survey the general characteristics of Tai Chi RCTs in the literature, we included any report if (i) it was an original report of the trial; (ii) its design was RCT; (iii) one of the treatments being tested was Tai Chi; and (iv) it was in English. In addition, we assessed the reporting quality of RCTs that were published between 2002 and 2007, using a modified CONSORT checklist of 40 items. The adequate description of Tai Chi interventions in these trials was examined against a 10-item checklist adapted from previous reviews. Results. The search yielded 31 Tai Chi RCTs published from 2002 to 2007 and only 11 for 1992–2001. Among trials published during 2002–2007, the most adequately reported criteria were related to background, participant eligibility and interpretation of the study results. Nonetheless, the most poorly reported items were associated with randomization allocation concealment, implementation of randomization and the definitions of period of recruitment and follow-up. In addition, only 23% of RCTs provided adequate details of Tai Chi intervention used in the trials. Conclusion. The findings in this review indicated that the reporting quality of Tai Chi intervention trials is sub-optimal. Substantial improvement is required to meet the CONSORT guidelines and allow assessment of the quality of evidence. We believe that not only investigators, but also journal editors, reviewers and funding agencies need to follow the CONSORT guidelines to improve the standards of research and strengthen the evidence base for Tai Chi and for complementary and alternative medicine.
