PRISMA Flow Diagram Generator

Build a PRISMA 2020-style flow diagram from your study counts, ready to check, refine, and drop into your manuscript.

A PRISMA flow diagram is the single most scrutinized figure in a systematic review manuscript, since it's what a methods reviewer checks first to confirm your reported numbers reconcile at every stage. This generator builds a correctly structured PRISMA 2020 flow diagram directly from your identification, screening, eligibility, and included-study counts.

Enter your numbers on the left and the diagram updates live on the right. Once it looks right, download it as an SVG file, which you can open, resize, and drop into Word, PowerPoint, or your manuscript's figure files without losing quality.

This tool builds the diagram; it doesn't check whether your underlying numbers are internally consistent. Before submission, it's still worth confirming that identified minus duplicates equals screened, screened minus excluded equals full-text assessed, and so on, all the way down to your final included count.

This generates a PRISMA 2020-style flow diagram from your numbers. Double-check that your identification, screening, eligibility, and included counts reconcile correctly before using this in a submission -- mismatched numbers across stages are one of the most common issues methods reviewers flag.
