Enabling the transferability of complex interventions: exploring the combination of an intervention's key functions and implementation.

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
objectivesSeveral public health interventions are not described, not evaluated and not transferred. The objective was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of using a description model making a distinction between interventions' transferable elements, and those that are more context-specific, to make their evaluation and transferability easier.
methodsThe theoretical distinction between an intervention function and its form in a specific context has been empirically explored. A community-based intervention (named "Ciné-Ma-Santé") has been described, using a "key function/implementation/context" model. This process has been co-constructed through qualitative research and knowledge exchange process between project leaders and researchers from different disciplines.
resultsThe use of the model proves feasible and useful for both project leaders and researchers. Nine key functions were described, as well as their implementation and the features of the intervention context.
conclusionsRendering explicit key functions of public health interventions could constitute a useful step to their evaluation and transfer. It enables the formulation of hypotheses regarding the potentially standardizable elements of interventions, and elements that can be modified while maintaining the integrity of the intervention.
