Conceptualizing clinical expertise in evidence-based practice: a narrative literature review with implications for clinical decision-making.

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
Objective: This review aimed to explore clinical expertise within evidence-based practice (EBP) by examining contemporary definitions of clinical expertise, how it can be acquired and developed over time, and its role within EBP. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched for literature on clinical expertise published between January 2016 and August 2024. Titles and abstracts were screened for relevance. Full-text review was conducted for papers deemed potentially relevant. Results: 23 articles were included in this review. Clinical expertise receives different treatments across literature. However, a commonality is that clinical expertise requires proficiency, skill, and clinical judgement that can be acquired only through clinical experience, collaboration, and hands-on clinical practice. Operating within Haynes' model of EBP, clinical expertise is central to integrating patient preferences and bridging the gap between standardized objective evidence and personalized care. Conclusions: Clinical expertise represents the core of integrating EBP to inform clinical decision-making and is developed through experience and keeping current with research. Author’s Note: This paper is one of seven in a series exploring contemporary perspectives on the application of the evidence-based framework in chiropractic care. The Evidence Based Chiropractic Care (EBCC) initiative aims to support chiropractors in their delivery of optimal patient-centred care. We encourage readers to review all papers in the series.
