Rayyan is a very useful web resource that allows you to screen papers quickly, and add reasons for exclusion so you can easily produce a PRISMA flow diagram.

(Guidance available in the FAQ article How do I export my references from Endnote into Mendeley or Rayyan? )
Once you have screened you can export from Rayyan back into Endnote and your search and screening are complete.
