Reporting guidelines under development

The following guidelines are currently being developed:


PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses Protocols)

PRISMA-P extends the PRISMA Statement to provide guidance for optimal reporting of systematic review protocols. A consensus meeting was held in June 2011 and the guidance is expected to be available on EQUATOR in 2012.

Guidelines for reporting the impact of patient and public involvement in research: Strengthening the evidence base of patient and public involvement


Guidelines for the reporting of prognostic (risk prediction) models

Guidelines for reporting biomedical images in scientific journals



REporting Manualised INterventions for Dissemination and Evaluation (REMINDE) Statement



CONSORT extension for reporting randomised controlled trials of social interventions

CENT (CONSORT Extension for N-of-1 Trials)

An official extension of the CONSORT 2010 Statement is underway for reporting N-of-1 trials. This guidance provides a set of essential items to include when preparing reports of prospectively planned, multiple crossover single patient trials, which may or may not be randomized.  The CENT guidance is expected to become available in late 2012.
