A new R package facilitates the generation of flowcharts for research studies

The Biostatistics Unit at IGTP has developed flowchart, an R package that automatically generates participant flow diagrams directly from study data, improving reproducibility and reducing errors. Integrated with the tidyverse, it enables the creation of clear, publication-ready figures in just a few steps. The tool, described in Journal of Open Research Software, simplifies a typically manual and time-consuming process in clinical and epidemiological research.
