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.

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.
