How do I write a paper in the Clinical Trials format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Clinical Trials template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official SAGE single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.

Clinical Trials uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically.
