The drawing

What a CONSORT diagram is.

A CONSORT diagram is a standardized participant-flow figure for a randomized controlled trial. It shows how many people were assessed, excluded, randomized, allocated to each arm, followed up, and analysed.

The figure lets readers see attrition and allocation at a glance. Keep the counts and reasons consistent with the trial report, and use a separate branch for each study arm.

How it works

How to make a CONSORT diagram in three steps.

“Draw a crossover-trial CONSORT flow diagram with eligibility assessment and exclusions, randomization to Drug A then Drug B or Drug B then Drug A, first-period completion or loss, washout, crossover to the second drug, second-period completion or loss, and analysis in both sequences.”

FAQ

Common questions

What is a CONSORT diagram?

It is a standardized figure that records participant flow through a randomized controlled trial from assessment to analysis.

What are the main CONSORT stages?

Enrollment, allocation, follow-up, and analysis. The figure usually also states exclusions and their reasons.

Can a CONSORT diagram show more than two arms?

Yes. Give each allocated arm its own branch through follow-up and analysis.

What is different in a cluster trial?

The diagram should report both the clusters randomized and the participants enrolled or analysed within them.
