| - | The impact of the STARD statement on the quality of reporting of studies published in 12 major journals is evaluated. Smidt et al. examined the quality of reporting of 265 diagnostic accuracy studies, as measured by compliance with the STARD statement. Quality of reporting in major general and specialty journals has improved only slightly since the publication of the STARD statement. Smidt et al recommends that authors should include a flow diagram in their manuscript, to clarify their study design and patient flow (Smidt N, Rutjes AWS, Van der Windt DAWM, et al.
