Leave a clear trail of questions, sources and limits.
Complete the page
Write five lines: question; model or population; comparison; result with uncertainty; and limitation. Add the source link and version. If only a record exists, say so. CONSORT helps locate information in randomized-trial reports, but compliance does not certify that the study is valid.
Add the next step
Finish with “what evidence could change this reading?” Follow-up, an appropriate comparison or information from another population may be missing. Keep the question without turning it into a use recommendation. This original sheet supports discussion and learning; it does not generate a clinical score or decide whether a person should receive an intervention.
Professional context / Contexto profesional
Distinguish reporting quality, risk of bias and applicability; they require related but different assessments.
Evidence / Evidencia
Original editorial tool linked to a trial-reporting guideline.
Limitations / Limitaciones
Not a validated critical-appraisal instrument.
