Abstract

SUMMARY POINTS
The PRISMA-LSR checklist includes four new items addressing (L1) living mode parameters, (L2) changes to the methods, (L3) changes to the results, and (L4) authors and their roles for each version of the LSR. The checklist also includes new elements under some of the existing PRISMA 2020 items After the latest version of an LSR has been published, the LSR status updates readers on whether the review is ongoing (and whether any new studies have been identified and are being incorporated) or whether the review has been retired
Templates are provided for four LSR tailored flow diagrams The extension has been developed for full reports of LSRs; therefore, authors and journals need to define which items and elements of the checklist apply to a partial report of their LSR
