Assessment of 30 Years of Randomized Controlled Trials in <i>The American Journal of Sports Medicine:</i> 1990-2020

Short summary

The quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine (AJSM) significantly improved from 1990-2020, with mean Detsky scores rising from 68.2% to 87.4% and modified Cochrane risk-of-bias scores increasing from 4.7 to 6.9. However, trials with fewer than 100 patients were more likely to have fragile results, indicated by a median Fragility Index of 2.
