How to use PRISMA 2020 Generator
Build PRISMA 2020 flow diagrams from your counts
Enter your systematic-review counts and generate a publication-ready PRISMA 2020 flow diagram, plus a living protocol and exclusion audit.
Before you start
- • A signed-in SciExpert account
Steps
- 1
Open PRISMA 2020 Generator
From the workspace sidebar choose PRISMA 2020 Generator. On a phone, open the All menu and tap PRISMA 2020 Generator.
- 2
Set up your inputs
Enter your systematic-review counts and generate a publication-ready PRISMA 2020 flow diagram, plus a living protocol and exclusion audit. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.
- 3
Run it
Run the tool and check the first output: interactive prisma 2020 flow diagram export.
- 4
Review what came back
Work through the results: living review protocol with inclusion and exclusion criteria; records your screening decisions and exclusion reasons; svg and png download for manuscripts and reports.
- 5
Save or export
Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.
Tips
- • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
- • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.
Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I run it
Check that every required field is filled and that your plan includes this service — locked services show a padlock in the sidebar.
The output is not what I expected
Reduce the input to a single item, confirm the result is correct, then add the rest back gradually.
