PRISMA Screening

Multi-stage screening following PRISMA methodology. Progressively filter papers from a large candidate pool to a focused set for deep reading.

Stages

1. Identification — gather all candidate papers (via paper-overview)
2. Title/Abstract screening — apply inclusion/exclusion criteria (from define-search-protocol)
3. Full-text screening — read AI summaries (paper-search) to confirm relevance
4. Inclusion — final set for deep reading (paper-research)

Available SOPs

• paper-overview (import) — identification stage
• paper-search (import) — full-text screening stage
• paper-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.
