A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of a Computer-Delivered Brief Intervention for Substance Use and Risky Sex During Pregnancy.
Trial report in Journal of women's health (2002), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 10 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
backgroundSexually transmitted infections (STIs) are an increasingly critical and costly health problem for American childbearing women. Pregnant women who misuse substances are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior that leads to STIs. Substance use and risky sex during pregnancy are both associated with numerous negative consequences for the woman and the developing fetus. STUDY
designA two-group, randomized controlled trial.
participantsRecruitment of 50 pregnant women (30% Latina; 24.4 years old [SD = 5.31]) with an average of 13 weeks gestation (SD = 4.5 weeks) was conducted at a prenatal clinic in a large inner-city hospital. Recruitment took place between 2015 and 2016, and data analysis took place in 2016.
interventionA computer-delivered, single-session brief motivational intervention plus booster session addressing both substance use and STI risk.
objectiveTo assess participants' perceptions of the intervention and to examine the preliminary efficacy in reduction of substance use and risky sex at 4-month follow-up assessment.
resultsThere were consistently very high ratings of acceptability of the intervention, ranging between 6.3 and 6.8 on a 1-7 scale. At the 4-month follow-up, participants in the intervention arm reported a significantly larger reduction (54%) in any marijuana or alcohol use compared with participants in the control group (16%) (p = 0.015) based on two-group clustered logistic regression using a generalized estimating equations approach. There was a higher reduction in condomless vaginal sex at follow-up in the health checkup for expectant moms (HCEM) arm than control (27% vs. 5%), although this was not significant (p = 0.127).
conclusionsThe results of this pilot study are encouraging with respect to the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of an intervention in reducing alcohol/marijuana use and condomless sex during pregnancy, supporting the next step of testing the intervention in a larger sample.
