As a response to a low quality of reporting of medical research, guidelines for several different types of study design have been developed to secure accurate reporting and transparency for reviewers and readers from the scientific community. Herein, we review and discuss the six most widely accepted and used guidelines: PRISMA, CONSORT, STROBE, MOOSE, STARD, and SPIRIT. It is concluded that th...

DLC2 was identified due to striking sequence homology to DLC1. It localizes to a small region of 13q12.3, which is a locus frequently deleted in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as well as in other cancers. Physical mapping of DLC2 in human genome revealed that it is in close proximity to the BRCA2 locus and flanked by microsatellite markers D13S171 and D13S267. The human DLC2 gene spans a region...

The Journal of Clinical Pathology publishes about nine papers a month presenting comparative (mostly primary) data. Their aim is to inform the clinical readership about the effects of disease or the comparative effectiveness of differing treatments. During the last 10 years many internationally recognised reporting guidelines within health research have been developed. The most notable of these...
