# Technical Document Extraction: Study Identification Flowchart ## Overview The image depicts a multi-stage process for identifying and screening studies from various repositories. The flowchart is divided into three primary phases: **Identification**, **Screening**, and **Included**. Each phase contains labeled boxes with numerical data and exclusion criteria. --- ## Phase 1: Identification of Studies via Repositories ### Key Components: 1. **Records Identified** - **Sources**: Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, SpringerLink, Elsevier (ScienceDirect), PubMed, MDPI, ACL Anthology, AAAI, IJCAI, OpenReview, ArXiv. - **Total Records**: `n = 564` 2. **Records Removed Before Screening** - **Duplicate Records**: `n = 127` - **Other Reasons**: `n = 7` - **Total Removed**: `127 + 7 = 134` --- ## Phase 2: Screening ### Key Components: 1. **Records Screened** - **Total Screened**: `n = 437` - **Excluded by Screening (Title/Abstract)**: `n = 183` 2. **Reports Sought for Retrieval** - **Total Retrieved**: `n = 254` - **Not Retrieved (Unavailable)**: `n = 5` 3. **Reports Assessed for Eligibility** - **Total Assessed**: `n = 249` - **Excluded During Assessment**: - **Conceptual Discussion**: `n = 12` - **Focus Missing**: `n = 27` - **Insufficient Detail**: `n = 33` - **Total Excluded**: `12 + 27 + 33 = 72` --- ## Phase 3: Included Studies - **Studies Included in Review**: `n = 177` --- ## Data Flow and Numerical Consistency 1. **Initial Records**: - `564` (Identified) → `437` (Screened) - **Discrepancy**: `564 - 134 (removed) = 430`, but the flowchart states `437`. This suggests a potential inconsistency in the data flow. 2. **Screening to Assessment**: - `437` (Screened) → `254` (Retrieved) → `249` (Assessed) - **Exclusions**: `183 (screening) + 72 (assessment) = 255` - **Included**: `177` --- ## Legend and Spatial Grounding - **Legend**: Not explicitly present in the image. - **Spatial Layout**: - **Identification Phase**: Top-left box with repository sources. - **Screening Phase**: Central boxes with exclusion criteria. - **Included Phase**: Bottom box with final count. --- ## Key Trends and Data Points - **Highest Exclusion**: Duplicate records (`127`) and insufficient detail during assessment (`33`). - **Lowest Exclusion**: Records removed for "other reasons" (`7`) and unavailable reports (`5`). - **Final Inclusion Rate**: `177/564 ≈ 31.4%` --- ## Notes - **Language**: All text is in English. - **Potential Error**: Numerical inconsistency between `564 - 134 = 430` (expected screened) vs. `437` (reported screened). - **Flowchart Structure**: Sequential arrows guide the process from identification to inclusion. This extraction captures all textual and numerical data as presented in the image, adhering to the specified technical requirements.
