justification "Rational for why it was reasonable to use this comparison intervention, especially if the comparison is a placebo or sham intervention, or if the comparison was to no treatment or usual care." STRING 0:1

interventions "Pointers to one or more interventions received by subjects assigned to this arm." Instance Intervention 1:*

regimens "Pointer to the regimen administered to the the clusters/individuals at the level of randomization below. The unit of randomization is at the top level. This slot contains data only if the trial is cluster-randomized." Instance Intervention-arm 0:1

delay-after-randomization "Description of any delay between randomization and treatment." STRING 0:1

roles "Tells which class and slot will take instances of this class depending on the role of the instance. The format is (role OWNER-CLASS |owner-slot|) e.g., if this class is DATE and the instance's role is recruitment-start-date, (recruitment-start-date RECRUITMENT |start-date|) tells us that this instance of date should be the value of the slot |start-date| in an instance of class RECRUITMENT."
