CONSORT 2010 vs. STROBE Guidelines for Participant Flow Diagrams
Top medical journals (NEJM, The Lancet, JAMA, BMJ) strictly require a participant flow diagram (typically Figure 1) under the CONSORT 2010 statement (for randomized trials) and the STROBE statement (for observational cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies). Reviewers routinely check whether: (1) Total Assessed minus Total Excluded equals Enrolled/Allocated; (2) Specific clinical reasons and exact counts are provided for every exclusion step; and (3) Loss to follow-up and final analyzed sample sizes are explicitly accounted for in each arm.
