A clinic-based motivational intervention improves condom use among subgroups of youth living with HIV.

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
purposeMore than 50% of youth living with HIV (YLH) have unprotected sex. In previous studies, we reported effects of a motivational interviewing-based multirisk reduction intervention, "Healthy Choices" in improving motivation, depression, and viral load in YLH. In this study, we report the effect of the intervention on increasing condom use.
methodsSix waves of longitudinal data (n = 142) across a period from baseline through 15 months postintervention were analyzed. The developmental trajectory modeling method was used for program effect evaluation.
resultsThe three groups detected with distinct sexual risks were: Persistent low sexual risk (PLSR), delayed high sexual risk, and high and growing sexual risk with regard to levels and time trajectories of condom use throughout the trial. Receiving Healthy Choices increased the likelihood to be in the PLSR group (63% vs. 32%, p < .01) and reduced the likelihood to be in the delayed high sexual risk group (16% vs. 50%, p < .05). Receiving the intervention was also associated with progressive reductions in no-condom sex for PLSR youth (adjusted β = -.325, p < .01) and high and growing sexual risk youth (adjusted β = -.364, p < .01).
conclusionThe motivational interviewing-based program Healthy Choices, when delivered in clinic settings, can prevent unprotected sex in subgroups of YLH, although more intensive interventions may be needed to change risk trajectories among those at highest risk of transmitting the AIDS virus. Developmental trajectory analysis provides an alternative approach to evaluate program effects for study samples that contain distinct subgroups.
