Description
Mayara Colpo Prado and co-authors published this meta-research study in 2024. Randomized trials guide dental practice, yet how well they are run and reported worldwide was unclear. The team searched PubMed for dental trials published from the end of 2016 to the end of 2021. Two reviewers screened the results independently. They gathered data on journals, authors, topics, and how fully each trial reported its methods.
The sample held 844 articles. Periodontics was the largest topic, at about sixteen percent. Brazil produced the most trials of any country, while authors from the United States collaborated most widely. Reporting gaps were common. About two-thirds of trials never mentioned the CONSORT reporting standard, and most skipped the type of randomization used. Blinding and sequence generation were reported more often. The authors offer the map as a baseline for improving how dental trials are conducted and described.
