The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was developed to facilitate transparent and complete reporting of systematic reviews and has been updated (to PRISMA 2020) to reflect recent advances in systematic review methodology and terminology.
The PRISMA flow diagram "illustrates the flow of studies through the different stages of a systematic or other literature review. It provides details on the number of studies identified, included and excluded and the reasons for exclusion at full text review."
Covidence utilizes the PRISMA 2020 template and your review's flowchart can be accessed at any time. It is also important to note that Covidence doesn't necessarily address all of the requirements for each template, so be mindful of this as you continue your research.
