What is a PRISMA diagram?

Answer

A PRISMA Flow Diagram is a visual representation of your screening process when conducting a knowledge synthesis project. It includes details about the number of results you retrieved by database, how many duplicate articles your search yielded, how many articles you screened at both the title/abstract stage and the full-text stage, and the reasons studies were excluded.
