Advantages of cluster-randomised controlled trials over individually randomised controlled trials include: The ability to study interventions that cannot be directed toward selected individuals (e.g., a radio show about lifestyle changes) and the ability to control for "contamination" across individuals (e.g., one individual's changing behaviors may influence another individual to do so).
It also uses a sophisticated toggling system to control the visualization of data rows across many months or years. It is designed to be flexible, but still standardizes some parts of the chart. This template should be transcluded in other templates, NOT in article pages.
The main product of the CONSORT Group is the CONSORT Statement, [1] which is an evidence-based, minimum set of recommendations for reporting randomized trials.It offers a standard way for authors to prepare reports of trial findings, facilitating their complete and transparent reporting, reducing the influence of bias on their results, and aiding their critical appraisal and interpretation.
[1] [2] The crossover is in one direction, typically from control to intervention, with the intervention not removed once implemented. The stepped-wedge design can be used for individually randomized trials, [3] [4] i.e., trials where each individual is treated sequentially, but is more commonly used as a cluster randomized trial (CRT).

In medicine, a crossover study or crossover trial is a longitudinal study in which subjects receive a sequence of different treatments (or exposures). While crossover studies can be observational studies , many important crossover studies are controlled experiments , which are discussed in this article.
Clinical trials units (CTU) are specialised biomedical research units which design, centrally coordinate and analyse clinical trials and other studies. Some CTUs specialise in different methodologies, such as randomised controlled trials , cluster randomised trials , surgical trials, and health services research.
A 2013 study analyzing 8907 interventional trials registered in ClinicalTrials.gov found that 23.2% of trials had abstract-linked result articles and 7.3% of trials had registry-linked articles. 2.7% of trials had both types of links. Most trials are linked to a single result article (76.4%). [24]
