The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) is a 27-item checklist that can help you report the details of your systematic review. It is used to improve transparency in systematic reviews. The items on the checklist cover all aspects of the manuscript, including title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and funding.
You will often see reference to the "PRISMA Statement," which is the catch-all term used for the PRISMA Guidelines, recommendations, and resources designed to encourage transparent and complete reporting of systematic reviews.
The PRISMA 2020 Statement was published in 2021. It consists of a checklist and a flow diagram, and is intended to be accompanied by the PRISMA 2020 Explanation and Elaboration document.
