Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the reporting quality of randomized controlled trial abstracts on topical vitamin C. Materials and Methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of randomized controlled trials focused on local vitamin C. The quality of abstracts was assessed using the CONSORT checklist, which consists of 17 items. Results: During the observation period, there was no significant increase in the number of studies on the topical use of vitamin C products over the years. The proportion of articles in each year was 5.5%. The total CONSORT score ranged from 0 to 13 out of a possible 17 points, with a median score of 7 and an interquartile range of 5-9. The least frequently reported items were information on funding sources (2.8%) and randomization criteria (4.6%). There were significant differences between structured and unstructured abstracts in the reporting of several CONSORT items. Structured abstracts were more likely to include the term "RCT" in the title (67.9% vs. 32.1%, P=0.012). The last item for which a significant difference was observed was trial registration, with structured abstracts more likely to report the trial registration number and the name of the trial registry (100.0% vs 0%, P=0.032). Conclusion: Analysis of abstracts on the use of topical vitamin C indicates that the quality of abstracts in this area is generally low. The CONSORT checklist has proven to be a valuable tool for improving the readability, transparency, and reliability of articles. As more journals adopt CONSORT as their publication standard, it is desirable that it be used in the field of cosmetology.
Abstract (croatian)
Naslov: Kvaliteta sažetaka randomiziranih kontroliranih ispitivanja topikalnog vitamina C. Ciljevi: Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio procijeniti kvalitetu sažetaka randomiziranih kontroliranih ispitivanja pokusa koji su ispitivali učinak topikalno korištenog vitamina C. Metode: Proveli smo presječnu analizu randomiziranih kontroliranih ispitivanja koja su se usredotočila na lokalni vitamin C. Kvaliteta sažetaka procijenjena je CONSORT kontrolnom listom koja se sastoji od 17 stavki. Rezultati: U promatranom periodu nije uočeno značajno povećanja broja istraživanja o lokalnoj uporabi proizvoda s vitaminom C tijekom godina. Udio članaka u svakoj godini bio je 5,5%. Ukupni rezultat CONSORT-a kretao se od 0 do 13 od 17 mogućih bodova, s medijanom rezultata od 7 i interkvartilnim rasponom od 5-9. Najrjeđe prijavljene stavke bile su informacije o izvorima financiranja (2,8%) i kriterijima randomizacije (4,6%). Postojale su značajne razlike između strukturiranih i nestrukturiranih sažetaka u izvješćivanju nekoliko CONSORT stavki. Strukturirani sažeci češće uključuju izraz "RCT" u naslovu (67,9% u odnosu na 32,1%, P=0,012). Posljednja stavka u kojoj je uočena značajna razlika bila je registracija ispitivanja, sa strukturiranim sažecima koji pokazuju jasniji registracijski broj i naziv registra ispitivanja u usporedbi s nestrukturiranim sažetcima (100,0% naspram 0%, P=0,032). Zaključak: Analiza sažetaka o korištenju lokalnog vitamina C pokazuje da je kvaliteta sažetaka u ovom području općenito niska. Kontrolni popis CONSORT pokazao se kao vrijedan alat za poboljšanje čitljivosti, transparentnosti i pouzdanosti članaka. Kako sve više časopisa usvaja CONSORT kao svoj standard objavljivanja, poželjno je da se koristi i u području kozmetologije.
