Research in Practice 01 — From search results to included studies This authentic PRISMA 2020 flow diagram from a previously completed systematic review records the complete selection pathway. The study remains unnamed publicly: • 2,438 records identified across three databases; • 629 duplicate records removed; • 1,809 titles and abstracts screened; • 54 full-text reports assessed; • 45 reports excluded for recorded reasons; and • nine studies included. PRISMA shows where records left the workflow and accounts for the transition from a broad search to the final evidence base. It supports transparency, but it does not assess whether the included studies were methodologically reliable.
