In recent years, an increasing amount of systematic reviews have been published; however, few reviews adequately considered and reported details of interventions, which not only limited the usability of systematic reviews but also wasted resource. In order to improve reporting of intervention details in systematic reviews, BMJ recently published recommendations. This paper interprets the recommendations to improve usability of systematic reviews.
