PRISMA 2020 flow diagram generator
Enter the counts from your screening process. The diagram is generated to the PRISMA 2020 layout, checked for arithmetic that does not add up, and downloadable as an SVG you can drop straight into a manuscript.
Where two reviewers disagree on inclusion, whether a conference abstract counts as a report, how to handle multiple papers from one study — those decisions shape the review far more than the diagram does, and they are what reviewers scrutinise.

In short
How do you make a PRISMA flow diagram?
A PRISMA flow diagram records how many records were identified, removed as duplicates, screened, excluded, assessed at full text and finally included in a systematic review. Enter those counts and this free generator produces a PRISMA 2020 compliant diagram as a downloadable SVG, along with the corresponding methods sentence.
