Abstract
Objectives: The goal of this study was to analyze the quality of abstracts of RCTs regarding melatonin and sleep disorders. Materials and methods: This study assessed the reporting quality of abstracts on PubMed for melatonin and sleep RCTs. A search yielded 232 abstracts, with 13 exclusions. The CONSORT for abstracts checklist was used to assess various aspects including study design, methods, results and conclusions. Data was analyzed using MedCalc software. Results: Of the 232 abstracts initially found, 13 were excluded, leaving 219 abstracts for analysis. The median CONSORT score was 7, with a range of 6-9. Abstracts from higher ranked journals had higher scores. Significant differences in reporting were found between abstracts with significant and non-significant results. The most common components found in the abstracts were the objective, intervention and outcome, demonstrating their inherent importance. Conversely, aspects such as funding, type of randomization and trial registration were under-reported, suggesting opportunities for improvement. Conclusion: The review of abstracts from a PubMed search on melatonin and sleep revealed moderate reporting quality according to CONSORT. Notably, abstracts published in the top quartile had the highest CONSORT scores, while those in journals not indexed in the Web of Science (without quartile) had comparatively lower scores, highlighting the influence of journal prestige on reporting standards.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj istraživanja: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je analizirati kvalitetu sažetaka RCT-ova koji se odnose na melatonin i poremećaje spavanja. Materijal i metode: Ova studija procijenila je kvalitetu izvješćivanja sažetaka na PubMedu za melatonin i RCT-ove spavanja. Pretraživanje je dalo 232 sažetka, s 13 isključenja. Kontrolni popis CONSORT za sažetke korišten je za procjenu različitih aspekata uključujući dizajn studije, metode, rezultate i zaključke. Podaci su analizirani pomoću softvera MedCalc. Rezultati: Od ukupno pronađenih 232 sažetka, isključeno je 13, ostavljajući 219 sažetaka za analizu. Medijan CONSORT bodova bio je 7, s rasponom od 6 do 9. Sažetci iz časopisa višeg ranga imali su više bodova. Utvrđene su značajne razlike u izvještavanju između sažetaka s značajnim i nesignifikantnim rezultatima. Najčešći elementi u sažecima bili su cilj, intervencija i ishod, što ukazuje na njihovu inherentnu važnost. Nasuprot tome, aspekti poput financiranja, vrste randomizacije i registracije ispitivanja bili su nedovoljno prikazani, što ukazuje na mogućnosti za poboljšanje. Zaključak: Pregled sažetaka dobivenih pretragom na PubMedu o melatoninu i spavanju otkrio je umjereni kvaliteta izvještavanja prema CONSORT-u. Posebno se ističe da su sažetci objavljeni u prvom kvartilu imali najviše CONSORT bodova, dok su oni u časopisima koji nisu indeksirani u Web of Science-u (bez kvartila) imali relativno niže bodove, što naglašava utjecaj ugleda časopisa na standarde izvještavanja.
