In evidence-based health care, randomized clinical trials provide the most accurate and reliable information on the effectiveness of an intervention. This project aimed to develop reporting guidelines, exclusively for randomized clinical trials in the dental specialty of Endodontology, using a well-documented, validated consensus-based methodology. The guidelines have been named Preferred Reporting Items for RAndomized Trials in Endodontics (PRIRATE) 2020. A total of eight individuals (PD, VN, HD, LB, TK, JJ, EP and SP), including the project leaders (PD and VN) formed a steering committee. The committee developed a checklist based on the items in the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines and Clinical and Laboratory Images in Publications (CLIP) principles. A PRIRATE Delphi Group (PDG) and PRIRATE Face-to-Face Meeting group (PFMG) were also formed. Thirty PDG members participated in the online Delphi process and achieved consensus on the checklist items and flowchart that make up the PRIRATE guidelines. The guidelines were discussed at a meeting of the PFMG at the 19th European Society of Endodontology (ESE) Biennial congress, held on 13 September 2019 in Vienna, Austria. A total of 21 individuals from across the globe and four steering committee members (PD, VN, HD and LB) attended the meeting. As a consequence of the discussions, the guidelines were modified and then piloted by several authors whilst writing a manuscript. The PRIRATE 2020 guidelines contain a checklist consisting of 11 sections and 58 individual items as well as a flowchart, considered essential for authors to include when writing manuscripts for randomized clinical trials in Endodontics.

PRIRATE 2020 报告牙髓病随机试验指南：基于共识的发展。

在循证医疗保健中，随机临床试验提供了关于干预效果的最准确和可靠的信息。该项目旨在制定报告指南，专门用于牙髓病学牙科专业的随机临床试验，使用有据可查、经过验证的基于共识的方法。该指南已被命名为 2020 年牙髓病随机试验 (PRIRATE) 的首选报告项目。共有 8 人（PD、VN、HD、LB、TK、JJ、EP 和 SP），包括项目负责人（PD 和 VN）成立了指导委员会。该委员会根据综合报告试验标准 (CONSORT) 指南和出版物中的临床和实验室图像 (CLIP) 原则制定了一份清单。PRIRATE 德尔福小组 (PDG) 和 PRIRATE 面对面会议小组 (PFMG) 也成立了。30 名 PDG 成员参与了在线 Delphi 流程，并就构成 PRIRATE 指南的清单项目和流程图达成了共识。PFMG 于 2019 年 9 月 13 日在奥地利维也纳举行的第 19 届欧洲牙髓病学会 (ESE) 双年大会上讨论了该指南。来自全球的 21 名个人和 4 名指导委员会成员（PD、VN、HD 和 LB）出席了会议。作为讨论的结果，指南被修改，然后由几位作者在撰写手稿时进行试点。PRIRATE 2020 指南包含一个由 11 个部分和 58 个单独项目组成的清单以及一个流程图，
