All trials incorporated clinician education; 4 included audit and\/or feedback components. Comparators were no-intervention control and passive dissemination of guidelines. Five trials were rated as low risk of bias, and 2 trials were rated as having some concerns. There was low-certainty evidence that implementing interventions to improve guideline-recommended imaging referrals had no effect (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.87 [0.72, 1.05]; I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 0%; studies: n = 6).
