Closing the gap between research and practice💥 At #REMEDY 2026, Per Olav Vandvik highlighted how MAGIC Evidence Foundation helps turn RCTs into decisions that change care. Evidence is not the endpoint. It is the starting point. Trials → guidelines → implementation → patient decisions. #MAGICevidence

Hot off the press from the #MAGICevidence team. New study on how guidelines translate into real-world use, focusing on BMJ Rapid Recs Key message: Methodological rigor builds credibility, but complexity can undermine usability and confidence Implementability needs to be designed, not assumed.
