Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Transparent reporting of both pragmatic and explanatory trial protocols with regard to their intention, and the degree to which their design choices match their primary intention, is important. • However, no clear reporting guideline for protocols of randomized clinical trials with clearly stated intention (either pragmatic or explanatory) exist. • We will develop a SPIRIT extension for reporting Pragmatic and Explanatory trial protocols designed using the PRECIS tool (SPIRIT-PRECIS), to help authors improve the completeness of reporting for pragmatic or explanatory trial protocols which can promote transparency and confidence in trial results.
