REPORTING CLINICAL TRIALS
Randomized controlled trials should be presented according to the CONSORT guidelines.
At manuscript submission, Authors must provide the CONSORT checklist accompanied by a flow diagram that illustrates the progress of patients through the trial, including recruitment, enrollment, randomization, withdrawal and completion, and a detailed description of the randomization procedure.
