An initial randomized controlled trial of behavioral activation for treatment of concurrent crystal methamphetamine dependence and sexual risk for HIV acquisition among men who have sex with men.
Trial report in AIDS care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05973838 (Peer-Delivered, Behavioral Activation Intervention to Improve Polysubstance Use and Retention in Mobile Telemedicine OUD Treatment in an Underserved, Rural Area), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to be the largest risk group for HIV infections in the U.S., where crystal methamphetamine abuse heightens risk for HIV infection through greater engagement in condomless anal sex (CAS). Existing treatments lack attention to replacement activities or the role of depressed mood. Behavioral activation (BA) is an evidence-based approach for depression that involves identifying and participating in pleasurable, goal-directed activities. We hypothesize, for MSM abusing crystal methamphetamine, re-learning how to engage in non-drug-using aspects of life would facilitate their ability to benefit from sexual risk reduction (SRR) counseling. Project IMPACT was a pilot randomized-controlled-trial. Forty-six MSM at sexual risk of acquiring HIV who met DSM-IV criteria for crystal methamphetamine dependence were enrolled. Of those MSM, 41 were randomized: 21 were assigned to the intervention, two sessions of SRR, ten sessions of BA with SRR, and one session of relapse prevention; 20 participants were assigned to a control condition (two sessions of SRR). At the acute post-intervention visit, intervention participants reported an average of 3.2 CAS acts with men who were HIV-infected or whose status they did not know, compared to 4.5 among control participants (
