Effectiveness of a brief condom promotion program in reducing risky sexual behaviours among African American men.
Trial report in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
rationaleThe prevention of human immunodeficiency virus/sexually transmitted diseases remains a significant global public health issue, especially among vulnerable populations. AIMS AND
objectivesTo promote condom use skills among young urban African American men.
methodsAs a pilot study, a randomized controlled trial was conducted among 136 African American men aged 18-24 years recruited from urban communities in Chicago. Participants assigned to the intervention received 45-60 minutes of a one-on-one single-session condom promotion program delivered by trained facilitators while those assigned to the attention-matched comparison condition received a general health program. Longitudinally, 115 (85%) and 120 (88%) participants completed the 3-month and 6-month follow-up surveys, respectively.
resultsOverall, the study results indicate that positive effects were observed from baseline to 6-month follow-up for intervention participants relative to comparison condition participants for prior condom use (1.23-1.82 versus 1.34-0.97); condom use intention (2.51-3.19 versus 2.69-2.21); perceived condom availability (3.44-3.72 versus 3.42-3.38); positive reasons to use condoms (2.82-3.08 versus 2.95-1.99); favourable condom use attitude (2.41-2.69 versus 2.49-1.95); barriers to condom use (1.33-0.79 versus 1.25-1.85); and negative condom use attitude (1.45-0.66 versus 1.33-1.39), respectively.
conclusionsWe conclude that a brief single-session condom promotion program is effective in preventing high-risk sexual behaviours among urban young adult African American men.
