The PRISMA Statement

This package plots a PRISMA flow chart describing the identification, screening, eligibility and inclusion or studies in systematic reviews. PRISMA is an evidence-based minimum set of items for reporting in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. PRISMA focuses on the reporting of reviews evaluating randomized trials, but can also be used as a basis for reporting systematic reviews of other types of research, particularly evaluations of interventions. (Moher et al. 2009)
