PRISMA 2020 Checklist

The PRISMA 2020 statement comprises a 27-item checklist addressing the introduction, methods, results and discussion sections of a systematic review report.

The checklist can also be completed using a Shiny App available at https://prisma.shinyapps.io/checklist/ or online via the EQUATOR Network’s GoodReports website (https://www.goodreports.org/reporting-checklists/prisma/).

An expanded checklist, which comprises an abridged version of the reporting recommendations presented in the Explanation and Elaboration paper, with references and some examples removed, is also available.
