The goals of this study were to accumulate a reference list of articles from selected medical journals that supported the efficacy, effectiveness, an or value of EM as a medical specialty or of clinical care delivered by trained EM physicians.
On March 23, German researchers published a study in the journal Circulation that supported testing for the protein in some groups of people.

Journals that do not currently support CONSORT may do so by registering on the CONSORT website.

Days before The Journal was published, groups that support some uses of hormone therapy issued statements citing limitations of the study's findings, saying they do not apply to most women approaching menopause, because the women in HERS had an average age of 67 and a diagnosis of heart disease.
We hypothesized that studies with larger sample sizes, that have funding reported, that are published in journals with a higher impact factor and that are in journals that have adopted, endorsed or supported the CONSORT statement will be associated with better quality of reporting and reporting of key methodological items.
We hypothesized that studies with larger sample sizes, that have funding reported, that are published in journals with a higher impact factor and that are in journals that have adopted, endorsed or supported the CONSORT statement will be associated with better overall quality of reporting and reporting of the 3 key methodological items.
Journals that have endorsed the CONSORT statement could also support CONSORT for pragmatic trials, by including reference to this extension paper in the journal's instructions to authors.
That support seems warranted: when used by authors and journals, CONSORT seems to improve reporting.
