The Utility of Index Case Recruitment for Establishing Couples' Eligibility: An Examination of Consistency in Reporting the Drug Use of a Primary Partner Among Sexual Minority Male Couples.
Article in Couple & family psychology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Sexual minority men are disproportionately impacted by substance use, which is associated with greater HIV transmission behaviors. Novel approaches to drug use prevention and treatment are needed. Couple-based approaches have garnered significant attention. The recruitment of couples into substance use interventions has proven challenging. We evaluate an index-case approach to screening participants in couples' research. Seventy index cases, aged 18-29, and their main partner (140 individuals), were recruited. At screening, index participants reported their drug use and their partners' drug use for the previous 30 days. At baseline, both partners reported their drug use over the past 30 days. Individuals' self-reports and perceptions of their partner's concurrency were compared within couples using the
