If you are undertaking an systematic review you need to be aware of the updated guidelines. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses ( PRISMA) statement, published in 2009 has been updated. The PRISMA 202 replaces the 2009 statement and includes new reporting guidance that reflects advances in methods to identify, select, appraise, and synthesise studies. An article published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), presents the updated 27 item checklist detailing the reporting recommendations for each item, the PRISMA 2020 abstract checklist, and the revised flow diagrams for original and updated reviews.
