Informing Implementation of a National Integrated Clinical Pathway for Low Back Pain in Ireland: A Pre-Implementation Qualitative Study With General Practitioners.
Article in Musculoskeletal care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionIreland's Health Service Executive is developing a new national integrated low back pain (LBP) pathway spanning primary and secondary care to improve LBP healthcare. Clinical pathways are frequently employed to optimise clinical outcomes and resource use but are challenging to implement. Context-specific implementation planning, leveraging implementation science and its conceptual frameworks, should inform successful implementation.
aimTo explore General Practitioner (GP) perceptions of the new LBP pathway, using their on-the-ground knowledge to assess barriers and facilitators to implementation with the goal of developing tailored implementation strategies.
methodsQualitative data will be collected through semi-structured one-to-one interviews with a purposive sample of GPs. Data analysis will be guided by Framework Analysis with initial open coding followed by mapping to the domains and constructs of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Science and Proctor's implementation outcomes of acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility. Potential implementation strategies will be devised from the identified determinants of implementation.
conclusionSystem-wide changes and improvements in healthcare are difficult to accomplish. The rationale and design of a pre-implementation study with key stakeholders is outlined with the view of informing optimal implementation of Ireland's new national integrated LBP pathway in primary care settings.
