Templates

prisma-flow treats PRISMA diagrams as template-based documents rather than arbitrary graphs.

Templates in this package are software implementations of the official PRISMA 2020 flow diagram structures. The PRISMA 2020 reporting guideline, checklist, and flow diagrams were developed by the PRISMA 2020 authors and are maintained through the PRISMA Executive; prisma-flow is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

Implemented in v0.1

Template enum Value
PRISMA_2020_NEW_DATABASES_REGISTERS prisma_2020_new_databases_registers
PRISMA_2020_NEW_DATABASES_REGISTERS_OTHER prisma_2020_new_databases_registers_other

These templates support the PRISMA 2020 new-review flows for databases/registers only and databases/registers plus other search methods. The SVG layout expands automatically when other-method counts are present.

The official PRISMA 2020 flow diagram templates are distributed under CC BY 4.0. When publishing or presenting diagrams, cite the original PRISMA 2020 papers for the guideline and cite prisma-flow when you want to acknowledge the software used to generate the diagram; see PRISMA acknowledgement and references.

Planned templates

The enum also reserves future template values:

  • PRISMA_2020_UPDATED_DATABASES_REGISTERS
  • PRISMA_2020_UPDATED_DATABASES_REGISTERS_OTHER

Attempting to render a planned-but-unimplemented template raises TemplateNotSupportedError.
