TL;DR: The iCAT_SR tool facilitates more in-depth, systematic assessment of the complexity of interventions in systematic reviews and can assist in undertaking reviews and interpreting review findings.

TL;DR: A series of articles is introduced describing the development of systematic review methods within The Cochrane Collaboration, and the future development of methods for Cochrane Reviews is considered.

TL;DR: A rich picture of the implementation challenges emerged, including inter-professional tensions and a lack of clarity for decision-making authority and responsibility, which are presented as theoretically transferable propositions that have international relevance.
