The Clinical Importance

A CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) flow diagram is a strict prerequisite for publishing any Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). It provides absolute transparency regarding patient enrollment, allocation, follow-up, and final analysis, ensuring no patient data is inexplicably lost.

The Statistical Science

This tool automates the structural logic required by the CONSORT Statement. It logically validates patient counts at each node (e.g., Assessed - Excluded = Randomized) to prevent mathematical discrepancies in your trial reporting that would trigger immediate journal rejection.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: Enter the initial number of patients assessed for eligibility.
  2. Step 2: Input the number of excluded patients (not meeting inclusion criteria, declined to participate).
  3. Step 3: Define your randomization arms and input follow-up losses.
  4. Step 4: Export the generated flowchart as an image for your manuscript.
