Description
Xiaoqing Lin and co-authors audit how stent reviews pick their main outcome in a 2025 study. Systematic reviews of drug-eluting stents keep multiplying. If each names a different primary outcome, or none, the literature cannot be compared or combined fairly.
The team gathered 271 reviews and meta-analyses from English and Chinese databases up to May 2025. Only about sixty-nine percent stated a primary outcome clearly. Having a registered plan in advance tied strongly to stating one. For common outcomes, the audit measured how often each was crowned primary. An overlap index mapped how much the stated outcomes coincide. The paper pushes core outcome sets as the fix.
