Objective To comprehensively collect quality assessment tools of systematic review/meta-analysis (SR/MA) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and compare the differences of numbers and contents of items, in order to provide references for optimizing and using these quality assessment tools. Methods We searched PubMed and EMbase databases up to December 31^th, 2013 for quality assessment tools of SR/MA of RCTs. EndNote X3 software was used for screening literature and Excel 2010 software was used for data extraction. A descriptive analysis was performed. Results A total of 61 studies including 32 quality assessment tools were included. Among them, 30 tools were for methodological quality and 2 tools for reporting quality. These tools were developed by different medical universities or colleges, research institutes, national health institutes, and some famous epidemiologists and methodologists from 1984 to 2007. Among the 32 tools, 4 tools were scales, while 28 were checklists. The numbers of items of these tools ranged from 5 to 101, among them, 9 tools had more than 20 items. Conclusion There are many quality assessment tools for SR/MA, but none of them is generally acknowledged. The quality, contents of items, and applicability of these tools are different, and some of them are too long to use. In practice and decision-making, most of the tools have the problems of low relevance and applicability. How to regularly use these tools to guide the research, practice and decision-making of SR/MA is still needed to be further researched.
