Abstract: The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement was developed to improve the reporting of randomised controlled trials. It was initially published in 1996 and focused on the reporting of parallel group randomised controlled trials. The statement was revised in 2001, with a further update in 2010. A separate CONSORT statement for the reporting of abstracts was published in 2008. In earlier papers we considered the implications of the 2001 version of the CONSORT statement for the reporting of cluster randomised trial. In this paper we provide updated and extended guidance, based on the 2010 version of the CONSORT statement and the 2008 CONSORT statement for the reporting of abstracts.

Association analysis of FTO gene polymorphisms rs9939609 and obesity risk among the adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) rs9939609 polymorphism and obesity in adults, and concluded that the FTO gene polymorphism rs 9939609 is correlated with the increasing obesity risk and A allele is also considered as a risk factor for the obesity susceptibility.

A system approach to water, sanitation, and hygiene resilience and sustainability in refugee communities
TL;DR: The authors conducted an in-depth systematic review of literature to explore the context of water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) sustainability and resilience in refugee communities and found growing concerns, given the two-decade waiting period for refugees to achieve repatriation/integration into host communities, and the bulk of their accommodation is largely in the Global South.
