CONSORT makes detailed recommendations for the writing of reports, which are listed in a 25-point checklist. Special emphasis is also placed on the transparent description of the methodology used. CONSORT does not contain any recommendations on the design or implementation of the study, but is merely a guide to reporting so that the reader can evaluate the results.
