Questions about flowchart templates
What is a CONSORT flow diagram?
It’s a standardized chart required by the CONSORT statement for showing how participants moved through each stage of a randomized controlled trial, from enrollment to analysis.
How do I create a CONSORT flow diagram?
You can use the ChatDiagram flowchart tool—start from a template or build your own by adding enrollment, allocation, follow‑up, and analysis blocks, then fill in the participant numbers.
What are the key elements of a CONSORT flow diagram?
It must include the number of participants assessed for eligibility, excluded, randomized, allocated to each intervention, lost to follow‑up, discontinued, and finally analyzed for the primary outcome.
Can I use ChatDiagram for other trial diagrams?
Absolutely. The flowchart generator supports all standard trial schemas (e.g., cross‑over, cluster randomized, factorial) and can be adapted to any custom study design.
Is there a template for CONSORT 2010?
Yes, the gallery includes templates that follow the CONSORT 2010 statement. You can adjust them to match the latest guidelines or your specific protocol.
