Perspective : peer evaluation of recommendations for CONSORT guidelines for randomized controlled trials in nutrition

Author

Abstract
Creating effective dietary guidance requires a rigorous evidence base that is predominantly developed from robust clinical trials or large scale cohort studies, with the quality of the data available depending on the completeness and accuracy of their reporting. An international group of academics from 14 institutions in 12 different countries and on five continents, working on behalf of the Federation of European Nutrition Societies within its “Improving Standards in the Science of Nutrition” initiative, reviewed the CONsolidated Standards Of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement checklist as it pertains to nutrition trials. This perspective piece documents the procedure followed to gain input and consensus on the checklist previously published by this group, including its presentation and interrogation at the International Union of Nutritional Sciences International Congress of Nutrition 2022 (IUNS-ICN 22), inputs from a survey of journal editors, and its piloting on eight nutrition trials of diverse designs. Overall, the initiative has been met with considerable enthusiasm. At IUNS105 ICN 22, refinements to our proposal were elicited through a World Café method discussion with participating nutrition scientists. The contributing journal editors provided valuable insights and the discussion led to development of a potential tool specific to assess adherence to the proposed nutrition extension checklist. The piloting of the proposed checklist provided evidence from real-life studies that reporting of nutrition trials can be improved. This initiative aims to stimulate further discussion and development of a CONSORT-nutrition-specific extension. Statement of significance: CONSORT provides general guidance on reporting accuracy and completeness of randomized controlled trials. Many discipline-specific extensions to CONSORT guidelines exist, but none for nutrition trials. Following on from our earlier work, 116 this paper describes refinements to the draft nutrition extension, with significant input from several stakeholders.
