Misconception: A Guideline Answers Your Question

Captions available

The idea

A clinical practice guideline covers a set of clinical circumstances. Answering your question means finding the specific recommendation that addresses it.

In practice

A long guideline containing one recommendation relevant to the question asked.

Where people slip

Citing a guideline rather than its relevant recommendation cites a document, not an answer.
