Guideline Development Tool (GRADE pro GDT) is an online tool that addresses the integration of the important data and process of the clinical practice guidelines and diagnostic guidelines. GRADE pro GDT has been updated several times, including the whole style of the web page, details of the information recording, management of the conflict of interests, and the presentation and dissemination of the results. The new version of the tool is much more intellectualized and transparent, which makes the guideline development and rating quality of evidence more standardized and scientific. This paper introduces new aspects of this tool with examples.
Dose-response meta-analysis (DRMA) is one of the branches of meta-analysis, which has provided important evidence for clinical research. Since introducing into China, it has gained great attention. In order to improve the reporting quality of DRMA, Dr. Chang Xu et al. developed the reporting guideline for DAMA——G-Dose Checklist. It was published in Chinese Jouranl of Evidence-based Medicine in 2016. This paper interprets the checklists so as to promote the understanding and use of it.
