Perils, pitfalls and potential for the use of reporting guidelines in experimental research in medical education.

- Abstract
In this issue, Kremer et al. [[1]] present a thoughtful study which experimentally examines the effects of negative emotions on medical residents' learning. If Kremer et al. had followed the CONSORT statement, this might have provided further clarification to their description of the design, and any changes made to the design once the study had commenced. Typically, educational experiments or trials are conducted over briefer periods of time than clinical trials, and so some of the features of CONSORT (for example interim analyses and stopping rules) are unlikely to apply.
