Abstract
Despite their importance in critical assessment of the literature, the impact of these guidelines has been disappointing. The original CONSORT guidelines came out in 1996.5 A direct comparison of pre-CONSORT reporting from 1994 to post-CONSORT reporting in 1998 demonstrated a small but significant improvement in reporting the CONSORT criteria6; however, by 2003, only 22% of high-impact medical journals referred to CONSORT in their instructions to authors and one-fourth of these referred to out-of-date criteria.7Keywords
