This chapter of the Cochrane Handbook offers tools and guidance for assessing the risk of bias in randomized trials for Cochrane Reviews.
Example Reporting Guidelines
These reporting guidelines help researchers document study details in order to increase the likelihood of replication by other researchers and to improve reader understanding.
PRISMA is an evidence-based minimum set of items for reporting in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. PRISMA primarily focuses on the reporting of reviews evaluating the effects of interventions, but can also be used as a basis for reporting systematic reviews with objectives other than evaluating interventions (e.g. evaluating etiology, prevalence, diagnosis or prognosis).
An extension to the PRISMA 2020 checklist, the PRISMA-S checklist offers guidance for reporting the literature searches completed as part of systematic reviews.
From the American Psychological Association, JARS-Quant includes guidelines for manuscripts that report primary quantitative research, experimental designs, nonexperimental designs, special designs, analytic methods, and meta-analyses.
