A synthesis of implementation science frameworks and application to global health gaps.

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
backgroundImplementation science has been growing as discipline in the past decades, producing an increasing number of models in the area. On the other hand, most frameworks are intended to guide the implementation of programs, focusing on identifying elements and stages that increase their success. This article aims to structure this discussion, proposing a simplified tool that synthesizes common elements of other frameworks, and highlight the usefulness to use implementation science not only in identifying successful implementation strategies but as a tool to assess gaps in global health initiatives.
methodsThe study was carried out through a combined methodology that included an initial search of implementation science frameworks, experts' opinions, and the use of references in frameworks to elaborate a list of articles to be reviewed. A total of 52 articles were analyzed, identifying their definitions of implementation science and the elements of different frameworks.
resultsThe analysis of articles allowed identifying the main goals and definitions of implementation science. In a second stage, frameworks were classified into "time-based", "component-based" and "mixed", and common elements of each type of model were used to propose a synthetic framework with six elements: Diagnosis, Intervention provider/ system, Intervention, Recipient, Environment, and Evaluation. Finally, this simplified framework was used to identify gaps in global health was using The Lancet Global Health Series. Potential areas of intervention arise for five different global health issues: malaria, non-communicable diseases, maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis. Prioritization strategies differ for the different health issues, and the proposed framework can help identify and classify all these different proposals.
conclusionsThere is a huge variety of definitions and models in implementation science. The analysis showed the usefulness of applying an implementation science approach to identify and prioritize gaps in implementation strategies in global health.
