Abstract
The quality of clinical research publications is variable and poor quality may invalidate the findings of a study. Guidelines have now been published that should improve the reporting of clinical trials (CONSORT) and systematic reviews (QUORUM). These guidelines make it easier to judge research quality and should improve peer review: conclusions from clinical trials or systematic reviews using these guidelines are more likely to be reliable.
