How to create a PRISMA flow diagram

Dear Students,

To assist you in creating your literature diagram, please utilize the following resource: PRISMA Flow Diagram GuideLinks to an external site.. This guide provides step-by-step instructions and templates to help you accurately structure and document your literature review process.

A PRISMA diagram visually maps the flow of information through the different phases of a systematic or literature review. To ensure credibility and academic integrity, your diagram must reflect real numbers based on your database searches, screening, and selection, not estimates or placeholders.

Quick Guide: Creating a PRISMA Diagram with Actual Numbers

A PRISMA diagram maps how studies are identified, screened, and selected for your literature review. Use real, not estimated numbers. Follow these key steps:

1. Search and Record

· Use multiple databases (e.g., PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO).

· Document: search date, keywords, Boolean operators, filters.

· Total records retrieved (e.g., PubMed: 320, CINAHL: 290).

2. Remove Duplicates

· Use citation managers (e.g., Zotero, EndNote) to de-duplicate.

· Record how many were removed.

3. Screening (Title/Abstract)

· Note how many records were screened and excluded at this level.

4. Full-Text Review

· Report how many full-text articles were assessed.

· Exclude with reasons (e.g., wrong population, not peer-reviewed).

5. Final Inclusion

· Report number of studies included in:

o Qualitative synthesis

o Quantitative synthesis (if applicable)

Tips

· Avoid placeholders—use exact numbers.

· Keep detailed records in case you’re asked to verify.

· All the PRISMA components and the official PRISMA templateLinks to an external site. must be used to receive the full points in the main issues category for this assignment.

Let me know if you’d like a template filled out or help listing exclusion reasons.

o Students will use this PICO question when creating the abstract and academic poster.

o Students may not duplicate the PICO question of another student at St. Thomas University.

o Your initial post is worth 8 points.
