Consort flow diagram generator
Create a Verified Consort Flow Diagram in Seconds, Ready for Publication
Turn your trial numbers into a CONSORT-compliant flow diagram with Multilo’s Consort flow diagram generator. It checks that every stage adds up, flags any mismatch before reviewers see it, and places a verified figure straight into your research paper, in Consort 2025 or 2010 wording.
Watch how it works
Key takeaways
Every Consort passes through four stages: Enrolment, Grouping or Allocation, Follow-up, and Analysis.
Enter correct numbers in every box; include all counts from persons eligible for checks to every group in which patient analysis is done for basic results.
Total numbers, patients lost to follow-up, and analysis of patients.
Those participants who left taking treatment or medicine in the middle were also included in the final analysis.
It makes a flow diagram from your numbers, but if it notices any flags, then indicate them, and it fits Figure in your paper.

Process From Trial Number to Figure without leaving your draft
Multilo automatically makes the complete flow chart of a randomized clinical trial inside your research workspace
Catch number mistakes before your reviewers do
Multilo analyzes the numbers of all stages of your trials and, where it detects any glitch, flags it immediately, so that no calculation mistake reaches any peer review.
Flags every mismatch, never changes your data
Many diagram tools copy what you write. In contrast, Multilo warns you about your mistake but keeps your data the same as what you entered, so that you decide what is correct.
Figure goes straight into your draft
Multilo fits this high-resolution diagram into your draft as “Figure 1”, according to your paper font and style. In this, there is no need to take screenshots or find files in export folders.
Official Consort wording, already in every box
The box structure follows the Consort rules, in which primary outcome terms like “lost to follow-up for primary outcomes” and “analyzed for primary outcomes” are included.
Describe your trial, get your diagram
Depict the diagram according to your choice, or allow Multilo to prepare it from your CSV file.
Get your Figure caption too
Multilo can prepare a draft caption for your Figure, so that you can get its explanation with the diagram.

Every box matches your trial data
Multilo builds every box from your dataset, so your flow diagram and results table always match.
2025 or 2010, your choice
Consort 2025 wording by default, with 2010 one click away if your journal still asks for it.
Private by design
Your trial data stays on your desktop and is never used to train any AI model.
How Multilo takes you from raw trial data to finished consort diagram
Let Multilo verify
- Multilo automatically check the calculations and accuracy of numbers in all four stages: Enrollment, Grouping, Follow-up, and Analysis.

- Multilo builds a publication-ready CONSORT flow chart in minutes.
Add it to your paper
- Insert your prepared consort diagram directly into your research draftwith matched formatting style.
Not only one diagram
Your whole trial report, in one workspace
Multilo is a local-first AI workspace. Write your paper and add citations in the same project where your diagram lives, and make the rest of your figures there too.
Build error bar charts, box plots, forest plots, heatmaps and Prisma diagrams in the same place.
Paraphrase, expand or summarize any sentence without breaking your citations.
Skip the Manual Boxes, Recounts and Rejected Drafts
No manual calculation
In Word and PowerPoint, you need to enter every number manually; therefore, any slight change in data makes the diagram out of sync with your data.
Prevent rejected drafts
Reviewers check these numbers very carefully. Such a diagram whose calculation fits perfectly becomes a major reason for questions and delays.
No need to change labels
Standard words are already in boxes, so you don’t need to find new templates or type labels repeatedly.
Free from guesses
A chatbot explains the Consort diagram, but Multilo checks your numbers and prepares it accurately from your data.

Frequently asked questions
What are the four important stages of the Consort diagram?
Keep a record of who is checked and who is removed, how many people are randomized into which group, how many leave in the middle or are not contacted, and how many have analysis done for the primary outcome in each group.
What is the actual calculation rule of the Consort diagram?
In every group, after extracting the total persons allocated, how many were lost to follow-up, and the persons removed, the final numbers must be those whose analysis is actually done. Multilo automatically checks this for every group so that no mistakes remain.
Why does Multilo point out wrong numbers and not change them?
Trial numbers are your data. By changing it quietly, no mistake is hidden; therefore, Multilo points out mistakes and leaves the final decision to you.
Why is the analysis of participants to be done even if they left treatment?
Intention-to-treat analysis keeps the participants in the group to which they are randomized from starting, whether they left treatment in mid. In this, the balance of randomization is maintained.
Can we make edits after the diagram is made?
Yes, you can make edits according to your own choice, like changing axes, labels, and colors after the diagram is made.
What changed in the Consort 2025 flow diagram?
Consort 2025 replaced the 2010 statement. The flow diagram keeps the same four stages, but its wording makes clearer that the follow-up and analysis numbers refer to the primary outcome. Multilo uses the 2025 wording by default.
Can Multilo use the Consort 2010 wording?
Yes. If your journal still asks for the 2010 diagram, switch to 2010 wording in one click. Your numbers and checks stay the same.
Should I show both intention-to-treat and per-protocol numbers?
If you report both analyzes, show both denominators in the analyzis boxes, so readers can see exactly how many participants each analyzis includes.
Can I make a diagram for a trial with three or more arms?
Yes. Multilo adds an allocation, follow-up, and analysis column for each arm and checks the numbers in each one. For cluster or crossover trials, follow the matching Consort extension and adjust the box labels to fit.
Can I use a Consort diagram for a non-randomized study?
Consort is for randomized trials. For observational studies, follow Strobe or the reporting guideline for your journal names, and use a participant flow diagram that fits that design.
