Integrating asthma care guidelines into primary care electronic medical records: a review focused on Canadian knowledge translation tools.
Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAsthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases globally. Despite national and international asthma care guidelines, gaps persist in primary care. Knowledge translation (KT) electronic tools (eTools) exist aiming to address these gaps, but their impact on practice patterns and patient outcomes is variable. We aimed to conduct a nonsystematic review of the literature for key asthma care gaps and identify limitations and future directions of KT eTools optimised for use in electronic medical records (EMRs).
methodsThe database OVID Medline was searched (1999-2024) using keywords such as asthma, KT, primary healthcare and EMRs. Primary research articles, systematic reviews and published international/national guidelines were included. Findings were interpreted within the knowledge-to-action framework.
resultsKey asthma care gaps in primary care include under-recognition of suboptimal control, underutilisation of pulmonary function tests, barriers to care delivery, provider attitudes/beliefs, limited access to asthma education and referral to asthma specialists. Various KT eTools have been validated, many with optimisation for use in EMRs. KT eTools within EMRs have been a recent focus, including asthma management systems, decision support algorithms, data standards initiatives and asthma case definition validation for EMRs.
conclusionsThe knowledge-to-action cycle is a valuable framework for developing and implementing novel KT tools. Future research should integrate end-users into the process of KT tool development to improve the perceived utility of these tools. Additionally, the priorities of primary care physicians should be considered in future KT tool research to improve end-user uptake and overall asthma management practices.
