PRISMA Flow Diagram Generator: Screening and Counts
A PRISMA flow diagram generator organizes identification, screening, eligibility and inclusion stages while keeping counts and exclusion reasons traceable.
How to reconcile the numbers
A PRISMA flow diagram summarizes review decisions. The visual is only as reliable as the search exports, duplicate log and full-text screening record behind it. Keep records, reports and studies distinct, and mark sample numbers as placeholders until your own counts reconcile.
The PRISMA flow diagram generator creates an editable layout with the familiar stages and side branches. It does not calculate or validate a systematic review; replace every placeholder with a count from your audit trail.
A focused review workflow
Choose one counting unit, calculate each denominator after duplicate removal, and list understandable full-text exclusion reasons. A polished box cannot repair an inconsistent screening log.

A practical prompt
Create an editable PRISMA-style flow diagram with Identification, Screening, Eligibility and Included stages. Add side branches for duplicates and full-text exclusions, use clearly marked placeholder counts and leave room for reasons.
Common questions
Does the generator calculate my review counts?
No. It creates an editable layout; counts must come from your own search and screening records.
What does n mean in a PRISMA box?
It indicates the number counted in that box. Define whether the unit is records, reports or studies.
