PRISMA2020 provides an interactive PRISMA-style flow diagram package for reporting systematic review search and screening processes. The package generates a PRISMA2020-conforming diagram with clickable boxes, mouse-over tooltips, and hyperlink URLs that can direct readers to related screening details or excluded full texts. Interactive outputs can be saved as HTML, while static outputs support HTML, PDF, PNG, SVG, PS, SVG, and WEBP formats. It includes functions for reading a template CSV dataset and plotting the flow diagram from supplied inputs.

Arguments

Package ‘PRISMA2020’ September 6, 2026 Title Make Interactive 'PRISMA' Flow Diagrams Version 1.1.5 Description Systematic reviews should be described in a high degree of methodological detail. The 'PRISMA' Statement calls for a high level of reporting detail in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. An integral part of the methodological description of a review is a flow diagram. This package produces an interactive flow diagram that conforms to the 'PRISMA2020' preprint. When made interactive, the reader/user can click on each box and be directed to another website or file online (e.g. a detailed description of the screening methods, or a list of excluded full texts), with a mouse-over tool tip that describes the information linked to in more detail. Interactive versions can be saved as HTML files, whilst static versions for inclusion in manuscripts can be saved as HTML, PDF, PNG, SVG, PS or WEBP files.
