CONSORT 2010 Flow Diagram - Follow-Up

Aug 31, 2026

This document presents a CONSORT 2010 Flow Diagram, a crucial tool for reporting randomized controlled trials. The diagram illustrates the flow of participants through a study, detailing the number of participants at each stage, from initial screening and eligibility assessment to randomization, allocation, and follow-up. It clearly outlines reasons for exclusion, loss to follow-up, and discontinuation of intervention, providing transparency and enabling readers to critically evaluate the methodological rigor and generalizability of the trial findings. The diagram is designed to standardize reporting practices, ensuring that essential information about participant flow is presented consistently and comprehensively across different studies, thereby enhancing the comparability and utility of research evidence. The systematic organization of participant numbers at various decision points—assessed for eligibility, excluded, randomized, allocated, received intervention, lost to follow-up, and discontinued—provides a clear numerical representation of the study's progression and potential biases.
