PRISMA for Scoping ReviewsPRISMA is an evidence-based minimum set of items for reporting in published reviews. The PRISMA checklist guides authors through the development, reporting, and publishing of review articles. The checklist states what elements to include in the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and funding sections of a review article. If authors follow the PRISMA checklist, then in their manuscript they can indicate that the review was “conducted according to the PRISMA for Scoping Reviews Statement.”
