The PRISMA 2020 flow diagram: what is it all about?

This video will show you what the new PRISMA 2020 flow diagram is all about. Becoming best friends with the PRISMA 2020 Statement is highly recommended if you are doing a systematic review. In this video, I’ll show you what the diagram requires, and I’ll show you a brilliant tool to use to complete it. Also, just to make your life easier, I built a calculator in Microsoft Excel which will make your job of completing the PRISMA 2020 flow diagram much easier. Here’s a link to get the calculator: https://www.researchmasterminds.com/p....

For a long time, we used the PRISMA 2009 statement and its diagram. Early in 2021, an updated version of the PRISMA statement was published. They also developed an online tool that can generate a PRISMA flow diagram for you. You can then export the PRISMA flow diagram in either Pdf or PNG, and then add it to your systematic review article, thesis, or dissertation. However, this tool does not have a PRISMA flow diagram calculator. Use the calculator accessible in the link above to double-check your own records. If your records are not the same as what is calculated here, then an investigation is required to see where there is a missing record or two. So, if you are doing a systematic review, this video is for you. I love systematic reviews! Enjoy the journey.
