摘要
Introduction: Moxibustion is clinically used for treating various chronic diseases; however, the reporting quality of current published RCTs of moxibustion is unclear. The objective of this study was to assess the reporting quality of RCTs focusing on moxibustion as a treatment for chronic diseases. Methods: Seven databases were searched to identify relevant RCTs. Criteria for evaluating the reporting quality of standard RCT elements and moxibustion intervention-related information were developed based on the CONSORT statement and its STRICTOM extension, respectively. Multivariate regression models were used to investigate factors impacting reporting quality. Results: A total of 310 RCTs were included, with 41 (7.6%) published in English journals and 269 (92.4%) in Chinese journals. The median CONSORT and STRICTOM scores of these RCTs, with a maximum score of 100, were 41.2 and 62.9, respectively. RCTs with a later publication year and protocol registration or ethical approval exhibited significantly higher CONSORT and STRICTOM scores. Higher CONSORT scores were also significantly associated with English language publication, funding support, and inclusion of a safety evaluation, while higher STRICTOM scores were additionally associated with an active control design. Conclusion: The reporting quality of RCTs focusing on moxibustion treatment for chronic diseases is subpar, with gradual but limited improvement over the last 25 years. To enhance the reporting quality of moxibustion RCTs, researchers should develop a comprehensive study protocol and standardize result reporting based on CONSORT and STRICTOM statements. Registration platforms, ethical approval organizations, funders, and journals can also contribute to this improvement by bolstering structured information reporting in the review process. Hintergrund: Moxibustion wird klinisch zur Behandlung verschiedener chronischer Erkrankungen eingesetzt. Jedoch sind die aktuell ver & ouml;ffentlichten randomisierten, kontrollierten Studien (RCT) zur Moxibustion von unklarer Berichtsqualit & auml;t.Ziel: Beurteilung der Berichtsqualit & auml;t von RCT zur Moxibustion in der Behandlung chronischer Erkrankungen.Methoden: Sieben Datenbank wurden durchsucht, um relevante RCT zu identifizieren. Kriterien f & uuml;r die Evaluierung der Berichtsqualit & auml;t von RCT-Standardelementen und von Informationen zur Durchf & uuml;hrung der Moxibustion wurden auf der Grundlage der CONSORT-Stellungnahme bzw. der STRICTOM-Erweiterung entwickelt. Mithilfe multivariater Regressionsmodelle wurden Faktoren untersucht, die die Berichtsqualit & auml;t beeinflussen.Ergebnisse: Insgesamt 310 RCT wurden eingeschlossen, hiervon waren 41 (7.6%) in englischen Fachzeitschriften erschienen und 269 (92.4%) in chinesischen. Die medianen CONSORT- und STRICTOM-Scores dieser RCT betrugen 41.2 bzw. 62.9, bei einem H & ouml;chstwert von 100. Hierbei wiesen Studien mit sp & auml;terem Erscheinungsjahr und mit registriertem Pr & uuml;fplan oder ethischer Genehmigung signifikant h & ouml;here CONSORT- und STRICTOM-Scores auf. Ein signifikanter Zusammenhang mit h & ouml;heren CONSORT-Scores bestand auch bei englischsprachiger Publikation, finanzieller Unterst & uuml;tzung sowie Einbeziehung einer Sicherheitsbeurteilung, w & auml;hrend h & ouml;here STRICTOM-Scores zus & auml;tzlich mit einem Aktiv-Kontroll-Design assoziiert waren.Schlussfolgerung: Die Berichtsqualit & auml;t von RCT zur Moxibustion in der Behandlung chronischer Erkrankungen ist mangelhaft, mit graduellen, jedoch limitierten Verbesserungen & uuml;ber die letzten 25 Jahre. Um die Berichtsqualit & auml;t von RCT zur Moxibustion zu erh & ouml;hen, sollten Forschende einen umfassenden Pr & uuml;fplan ausarbeiten und die Ergebnisberichterstattung auf der Grundlage der CONSORT- und STRICTOM-Stellungnahmen standardisieren. Registrierungsplattformen, Organisationen f & uuml;r die ethische Genehmigung, Finanzierer und Fachzeitschriften k & ouml;nnen ebenfalls zu dieser Qualit & auml;tserh & ouml;hung beitragen, indem sie im Begutachtungsprozess eine strukturierte Informationsaufbereitung f & ouml;rdern.Schl & uuml;sselw & ouml;rterMoxibustion, Randomisierte kontrollierte Studie, Berichtsqualit & auml;t, CONSORT, STRICTOM
