Overview

Assessment reveals adherence to PRISMA reporting guidelines in COVID-19 pharmacotherapy studies, indicating areas needing improvement.

Key Points

  • Most meta-analyses reported 100% on 17 PRISMA items, but registration and protocol items scored only 50%.
  • The average PRISMA score was 91.20 for the 26-item format, indicating generally good reporting quality.
  • Using the Cochrane Handbook for risk of bias assessment was common among most reviewed meta-analyses.
  • The study underscores the need for universal adherence to PRISMA guidelines to enhance reporting quality.
