🙌Part 2 of developing the TARGET Reporting Guideline🙌 The reporting of studies EXPLICITLY aiming to emulate a target trial: systematic review JAMA Network Open Spoiler, it's often unclear what was done due to poor reporting of the target trial, let me explain 1/n doi.org/10.1001/jamane…

As all of you now know, we plan to develop the TARGET Reporting Guideline to help authors aiming to emulate a target trial report the minimum important information to allow their study to be most useful. See doi.org/10.1136/bmjope… for the full outline of our plan 7/n #epitwitter

Reminder: If you want to play a part in helping us make the guideline as useful as possible, please register your details here (redcap.link/target-piloting) to be contacted when we are ready to pilot the guideline! #epitwitter #causalinference 8/n

🚨New paper🚨This #systematicreview lead by @hjhansford shows that there is room for improvement in the reporting of target trial emulations. Stay up-to-date on progress in this area TARGET Reporting Guideline 🎯 @pain_neura #causalinference #epitwitter

Thomas Debray Frank Harrell Florian Naudet statsepi We're in the process of writing a guideline to improve the reporting of studies that say they are trying to emulate a target trial (TARGET Reporting Guideline). We're collecting emails to pilot it and want to consider all views. You can sign up here - redcap.link/target-piloting

Just returned from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health for the consensus meeting of TARGET, the reporting guideline bmjopen.bmj.com/content/13/9/e… for studies that aim to emulate a target trial. A very productive few days with - (1/3)

And that’s a wrap! 3 days of great discussion @ the TARGET Reporting Guideline consensus meeting. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/13/9/e… We are looking forward to the guideline being piloted and released in the coming year! It’s not too late to express your interest in piloting! redcap.link/target-piloting
