Objective To form the list of methodological quality evaluation and explanation for the selection of objective performance criteria in single arm trial, and initially construct a methodological guiding tool for the selection and evaluation of target value, so as far to provide a research basis for improving the system of single-arm trial quality evaluation by objective performance criteria method. Methods Combining the bias risk assessment method of observational study, interventional trails, domestic and foreign policy documents, and systematically collecting the common bias and evaluation key points, preliminarily proposing the list of methodological quality evaluation and explanation for the selection of objective performance criteria in single-arm trial, via two rounds of expert consensus voting using nominal group method, finally formulating the list based on the voting results and expert opinions. Results Through two rounds of discussion, sorting, comprehensive expert opinions, we improved the corresponding items in the list and finally formed the list of methodological quality evaluation and explanation for the selection of objective performance criteria in single-arm trial, which included four areas: authority, traceability, comparability, and reliability, including 10 items. The entries in each field considered both design and implementation throughout the clinical trial. Conclusion The methodology list developed in this study provides methodological guidance for the selection of objective performance criteria and quality evaluation, and provides a solid theoretical basis for the establishment of a complete methodological system of quality evaluation for objective performance criteria single arm trails.
