A PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) flow diagram is a standardized figure that shows the flow of information through the different phases of a systematic review. It maps out the number of records identified, included, and excluded, and the reasons for exclusions. The PRISMA 2020 statement updated the flow diagram to include new sections for identification from different sources and more detailed screening information.
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. You can generate and export as many PRISMA flow diagrams as you need. The tool runs entirely in your browser -- no data is sent to any server.
Yes. The flow diagram template follows the structure described in Page MJ, McKenzie JE, Bossuyt PM, et al. (2021) "The PRISMA 2020 statement: an updated guideline for reporting systematic reviews." BMJ 2021;372:n71. It includes the updated sections for identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion.
The PNG export is a raster image suitable for direct inclusion in manuscripts, posters, and presentations. If you need to make further edits, we recommend using the PNG as a base in tools like PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Canva.
Any journal that requires PRISMA-compliant reporting will accept flow diagrams generated by this tool, as it follows the official PRISMA 2020 template. This includes major journals like The Lancet, BMJ, JAMA, Cochrane Library, and PLoS Medicine.
