Project MARS: Design of a Multi-Behavior Intervention Trial for Justice-Involved Youth.
Article in Translational behavioral medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundMarijuana and alcohol use are associated with increased sexual risk behavior among justice-involved youth. A multi-behavior intervention may reduce all three risk behaviors. PURPOSE: To examine the relationships among multiple risk behaviors and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs guiding the development of the MARS (Motivating Adolescents to Reduce Sexual risk) intervention. We describe the MARS study design to inform the process through which a multi-behavior intervention trial can be implemented and evaluated.
methodsParticipants completed questionnaires prior to randomization to one of three interventions.
resultsRelationships were found between TPB constructs and risk behavior. A single latent variable was inadequate to capture all three risk behaviors.
conclusionsInterventions to reduce sexual risk behavior can include content related to the role of substance use in influencing sexual risk behavior with only minimal modifications to the curriculum, and preliminary data suggest a common theory can apply across risk behaviors.
