Brief motivational interviewing intervention to reduce alcohol and marijuana use for at-risk adolescents in primary care.
Trial report in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 72 papers, 7 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
objectiveThe primary care (PC) setting provides a unique opportunity to address adolescent alcohol and other drug (AOD) use.
methodWe conducted a randomized controlled trial in 4 PC clinics from April 2013 to November 2015 to determine whether a 15-min brief motivational interviewing (MI) AOD intervention, delivered in PC, reduced alcohol and marijuana use and consequences. Adolescents ages 12-18 who came for an appointment during the 2.5-year study period were asked to be in the study and screened using the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Screening Guide. Those identified as at risk were randomized to the CHAT intervention or usual care (UC). Adolescents completed 4 web-based surveys at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months postbaseline.
resultsThe sample (n = 294) was 58% female and 66% Hispanic, 17% Black, 12% White, 5% multiethnic or other, with an average age of 16 years. Compared to UC adolescents, CHAT adolescents reported significantly less perceived peer use of alcohol and marijuana at 3 months (alcohol: p < .0001; marijuana p = .01) and 6 months (alcohol: p = .04; marijuana p = .04). CHAT adolescents also reported marginally fewer negative alcohol consequences experienced at 6 months (p = .08). At 12 months, compared to UC, CHAT adolescents reported less perceived peer alcohol (p = .04) and marijuana (p < .01) use and fewer negative consequences from alcohol (p = .03) and marijuana (p = .04) use.
conclusionsA brief MI intervention delivered in PC reduced negative consequences from alcohol and marijuana use 1 year later. Findings emphasize that adolescents can benefit from PC interventions that briefly and effectively address both alcohol and marijuana use. (PsycINFO Database Record
