Scoping reviews are intended to help researchers in complex and extensive fields can better address exploratory research questions, comprehensive and systematic understanding of the current development of a field. However, the current scoping review needs to be unified in the implementation process, and the emergence of the JBI scoping review execution process can solve this problem well, which combines and improves the framework of the previous execution process, and regulates the whole process of scoping review production in depth and comprehensively from the aspects of the research purpose and questions, inclusion criteria, search, screening, data extraction, and analysis of the results, etc., and it has a strong authority and professionalism. Therefore, in order to help researchers better carry out and implement the scoping reviews, this paper focuses on the JBI scoping review execution process, and through detailed interpretation of the JBI scoping review execution process and demonstration of examples, it provides references for researchers to correctly apply the JBI scoping review execution process, in order to enhance the transparency and reliability of the research results, and to promote the scientific application of scoping reviews in China.
Based on the PRISMA 2009 checklist, the study analyzed current status and reporting quality of systematic reviews of animal experiments, and consulted experts in relevant fields to form an initial entry pool of reporting checklists for systematic reviews of animal experiments in traditional Chinese medicine (PRISMA-ATCM). Then, the initial entry pool was improved through 2 rounds of Delphi expert consultation. Finally, the items were revised through the consensus meeting, and the final PRISMA-ATCM was formed. Of the 27 items on the PRISMA checklist, 12 were revised and expanded, specifically relating to TCM interventions and animal characteristics. The publication of the PRISMA-ATCM will improve the transparency and standardization of systematic reviews of animal experiments in Chinese medicine.
