There are many examples where a population is whittled down to a study group, and, in good reports, the process is described. A flow chart is an effective way of presenting this data. ```{r setup, include = FALSE} library(PRISMAstatement) suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(DiagrammeR)) knitr::opts_chunk$set( collapse = TRUE, fig.width = 3 ) ``` ```{r genericflowexamples, fig.cap = "Fictitious study data, presenting just counts"} flow_exclusions( incl_counts = c(972, 132, 77, 14), total_label = "Total Screened", incl_labels = c("Consented", "Completed Study", "BMI <= 30"), excl_labels = c("Declined Consent", "Failed to Complete", "BMI > 30") ) ``` ```{r percoftotal, fig.cap = "Percentages of the Total figure"} flow_exclusions(c(1000, 300, 150, 75, 38), percent_of_total = TRUE) ``` ```{r percofprev, fig.cap = "Percentages of the previous box"} flow_exclusions(c(100000, 3000, 1666, 411, 38), percent_of_prev = TRUE, show_count = FALSE) ``` ```{r genericflowexamples2, fig.cap = "Demonstrating other options"} flow_exclusions( incl_counts = c(972, 132, 77, 14), total_label = "Total Screened", incl_labels = c("Consented", "Completed Study", "BMI <= 30"), excl_labels = c("Declined Consent", "Failed to Complete", "BMI > 30"), percent_of_total = TRUE, percent_of_prev = FALSE, show_count = FALSE, font_size = 14) ```
