AbstractMuch biomedical research is observational. Research should be reported in a way that enables the reader to comprehend the original objectives of the researchers, their subsequent actions and findings, and conclusions.

These 22 recommendations are summarised here with a commentary. These recommendations concern the title, the abstract, the introduction, the description of the methods and the results, the discussion and a list of the financiers of the study.
