Study design valid for a Randomised Control Trial
Consider: Did the study address a clearly focussed research question or hypothesis, was PICO used to define the question, was the assignment of participants randomised, were all participants that entered the study accounted for at its conclusion?
Methodologically sound
Consider: did blinding occur, were the study groups similar at start of the study, could any differences affect the outcome, apart from the intervention did each study group receive the same standard of care, was there a clear study protocol, were follow up intervals the same for each group, is the sample and setting appropriate?
Data collection, instruments, analysis
Consider: What instruments were used to collect data, were they appropriate for the study, how was the data analysed?
Results
Were the effects of the intervention reported comprehensively?
Summary
Consider: What is your conclusion about the paper? Would you use it to change your practice or to recommend changes to care? Strengths and limitations?
