About this example

This conceptual diagram presents an illustrative study process with three boxes: collect data, analyze data, and report findings. Two arrows connect the steps in that order.

Open the example and rename the steps for your workflow. Move boxes by dragging or use the position fields; add a connector only when it communicates an intended sequence. The editor does not infer dependencies from the box text.

The diagram has no participant counts, timings, or completeness checks. For a formal study-selection or trial-participant flow, use the dedicated PRISMA or CONSORT tool. For a conceptual relationship layout, inspect the educational framework or three-part model.
