The concept of clinical trial transparency has been promoted for more than 40 years. The act of clinical trial registration, report guidelines development, and data sharing has has been strongly pushed forward and become a common practice. The clinical trial process being the key procedure of trial operation and quality control, determines the accuracy of the results. However, the process report of clinical trials is insufficient. In this article, we summarize the importance of clinical trial process report and provide corresponding suggestions. We propose that medical journals, reporting guidelines developers and clinical trial registration platforms should work together to strengthen the process report of clinical trials and promote full transparency of clinical trials.
