Trial report in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 83 papers, 11 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.

Abstract
objectiveYoung gay and bisexual men (YGBM) are disproportionally at risk of HIV infection due to sexual risk behaviors, which are often exacerbated by recreational drug use. However, there have been no evidence-based interventions targeting substance-using YGBM. This study was designed to test a brief motivational interviewing (MI) intervention to reduce both risky sex and drug use among HIV-negative YGBM.
methodA total of 143 non-treatment-seeking YGBM (ages 18-29 years) who reported recent unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) and recreational drug use were randomized to 4 sessions of MI or 4 sessions of content-matched education. Participants were followed every 3 months for 1 year, and behavior change was examined across conditions and time for aggregated and day-level drug use and UAI.
resultsRegardless of condition, participants reported significant reductions in UAI and substance use over time. However, YGBM in the MI condition were 18% less likely to use drugs and 24% less likely to engage in UAI than YGBM in the education condition.
conclusionsThe results support the utility of MI, compared with a content-matched education condition, to significantly reduce both UAI and drug use among YGBM. Interventions may benefit from an emphasis on substance use reductions, which might indirectly lead to less frequent UAI. Future research efforts should examine whether this type of brief MI intervention is effective when delivered by clinic or community settings utilized by YGBM.
