CONSORT Group members update the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement by collecting relevant literatures to improve the reporting quality of randomised controlled trials. Recently, they have outlined CONSORT-Equity reporting standards, an extension to the CONSORT statement, which had been developed to improve the reporting of intervention effects in randomised trials where health equity is relevant. It will be helpful to improve social health equity or reduce social health inequities. This paper aims to introduce CONSORT-Equity and interprets its usage by a series of randomised trials where health equity is relevant.
