Attitudes toward sexual partner concurrency: development and evaluation of a brief, self-report measure for field research.
Trial report in AIDS and behavior, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The purpose of this study was to develop a brief, reliable, and valid self-report measure of attitudes toward sexual partner concurrency. Focus groups, conducted with 59 participants, yielded 26 common attitudes. STD clinic patients (n = 370) reported their sexual risk history, and rated the 26 attitude statements. This sample was randomly divided into two subsamples, with some participants completing the items on two occasions (separated by 3 months) to evaluate test-retest reliability. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed a one-factor model. The final scale consisted of 10 items, with higher scores reflecting more positive attitudes toward sexual partner concurrency. This scale is internally consistent (α = 0.92) and stable over time (3-month retest ICC = 0.82), with a factor structure that is equivalent for men and women. Evidence of validity was also obtained by confirming hypothesized correlations with sexual risk history. Continued research is needed to confirm the usefulness of this measure as an antecedent of sexual risk behavior.
