Resource inspired by the original STROBE checklist for appropriately reporting observational studies within epidemiological research.
The STROBE-MR checklist is an essential and comprehensive resource that enables researchers appropriate and transparently write their MR analyses. Not only should using the STROBE-MR checklist be adopted when writing papers for publication, to enable published research to be clearer and more reproducible, but the guidelines should also be adopted by reviewers, journal editors and readers to gauge the quality of published MR studies.
