CONSORT BINGO - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. Participant flow (a diagram is strongly recommended)
  2. A table showing baseline demographic and clinical characteristics for each group
  3. State and justify any criteria for excluding any outcome data from the analysis and reporting, or report that no outcome data were excluded
  4. Type of randomization; details of any restriction (such as blocking and block size)
  5. Mechanism used to implement the random allocation sequence (such as sequentially numbered containers), describing any steps taken to conceal the sequence until interventions were assigned
  6. Describe any processes used to promote outcome data quality during data collection (eg, duplicate measurements) and after data collection (eg, range checks of outcome data values), or state where details can be found
  7. Statistical methods used to compare groups for primary and secondary outcomes
  8. Describe who assessed the outcome (eg, nurse, parent), and any qualifications or trial-specific training necessary to administer the study instruments to assess the outcome
  9. Settings and locations where the data were collected
  10. Who generated the random allocation sequence, who enrolled participants, and who assigned participants to interventions
  11. Results of any other analyses performed, including subgroup analyses and adjusted analyses, distinguishing prespecified from exploratory
  12. Eligibility criteria for participants
  13. Provide a description of the study instruments used to assess the outcome (eg, questionnaires, laboratory tests) along with reliability, validity, and responsiveness in a population similar to the study sample
  14. Provide definition of outcome analysis population relating to protocol nonadherence (eg, as randomized analysis)
  15. Define and justify the target difference between treatment groups (eg, the minimal important difference)
  16. Provide a rationale for the selection of the domain for the trial’s primary outcome
  17. All important harms or unintended effects in each group
  18. How sample size was determined
  19. Describe the specific measurement variable (eg, systolic blood pressure), analysis metric (eg, change from baseline, final value, time to event), method of aggregation (eg, mean, proportion), and the time point for each outcome
  20. Important changes to methods after trial commencement (such as eligibility criteria), with reasons
  21. Method used to generate the random allocation sequence
  22. Dates defining the periods of recruitment and follow-up
  23. Describe any methods used to account for multiplicity in the analysis or interpretation of the primary and secondary outcomes (eg, coprimary outcomes, same outcome assessed at multiple time points, or subgroup analyses of one outcome)
  24. The interventions for each group with sufficient details to allow replication, including how and when they were actually administered (for specific guidance see TIDieR checklist and guide)
  25. Methods for additional analyses, such as subgroup analyses and adjusted analyses
  26. For each primary and secondary outcome, results for each group, and the estimated effect size and its precision (such as 95% CI)
  27. Identify any outcomes that were not prespecified in a trial registry or protocol
  28. Description of trial design (such as parallel, factorial) including allocation
  29. Describe methods to assess patterns of missingness (eg, missing not at random), and describe the methods to handle missing outcome items or entire assessments
  30. Specific objectives or hypotheses
