Importance: Externally controlled trials (ECTs) can serve as an alternative in settings where randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are unfeasible. However, the methodological rigor of ECTs, particularly with regard to bias control, is often inadequately assessed, which can compromise the validity of studies and lead to incorrect decisions.
Objective: To examine the design, conduct, and analysis characteristics of current ECTs and to assess whether appropriate methods were used to control bias.
