PRISMA Screening
Multi-stage screening following PRISMA methodology. Progressively filter papers from a large candidate pool to a focused set for deep reading.
Stages
- Identification — gather all candidate papers (via paper-overview)
- Title/Abstract screening — apply inclusion/exclusion criteria (from define-search-protocol)
- Full-text screening — read AI summaries (paper-search) to confirm relevance
- Inclusion — final set for deep reading (paper-research)
Available SOPs
paper-overview(import) — identification stagepaper-search(import) — full-text screening stagepaper-research(import) — inclusion stage (deep reading)prisma-flowchart(subagent) — generate PRISMA flow data
Execution Guidance
- Each stage documents: how many in → how many out → reasons for exclusion
- prisma-flowchart SOP generates the flow data at the end
- CC decides exact thresholds for each stage based on inclusion/exclusion criteria from define-search-protocol
- Typical funnel: 60 identified → 40 title-screened → 30 deep-read
- Document exclusion reasons at each stage (e.g., "off-topic", "wrong population", "not empirical")
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| knowledge-acquisition-paper-overview | Abstract-level paper scanning for broad coverage. Import of literature-engine/literature-overview skill. Abstract-level only — no methodology conclusions from abstracts. |
| knowledge-acquisition-paper-research | Full-depth paper reading with raw text extraction. Import of literature-engine/literature-research skill. Must read fullText (true) — equations, hyperparameters, specific claims extracted. |
| knowledge-acquisition-paper-search | AI-summarized paper reading for intermediate depth. Import of literature-engine/literature-search skill. Must call get_paper_content for every analyzed paper. |
| prisma-flowchart | Generate PRISMA-compliant flow data documenting the screening funnel — counts at each stage (identification, screening, eligibility, inclusion) with exclusion reasons. Used by systematic-survey via prisma-screening tactic. |
