It's quite good news for the professionals in evidence synthesis as the scoping review can be reported as per the JBI updated PRISMA-ScR guideline. Nontheless, we know that it is very difficult to develop a single tool to assess the qualities of the studies included in a scoping review because of the multiple categories of studies included. However, when the scoping is reviewed systematically with limited categories of studies, such as randomised trials or umbrella reviews, is there any common tool that can be used for the assessment of the quality of the studies?

However, the points are not so applicable when we think about the interventional studies. In that, rather the 4-point assessment of Center for Evidence Based Medicine (CEBM) look more relevant although it is recommended for clinical evidence and for the judgement of critical appraisal of clinical research papers :

Dear Experts,
In addition to the earlier tools we discussed, this one-MMAT (Mix Methods Appraisal Tool) is comprehensive and may be better for scoping reviews or SR where heterogeneous studies are included. Will anybody add its validity/utility further?
