A randomized comparison trial of culturally adapted HIV prevention approaches for Native Americans reducing trauma symptoms versus substance misuse: The Healing Seasons protocol.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03112369 (Preventing HIV Among Native Americans Through the Treatment PTSD & Substance Use), 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.

Abstract
Native Americans (NA) experience interrelated risks of trauma exposure, substance use, and HIV risk behaviors that put them at increased risk for HIV infection. Despite these known risk factors, there are very few published randomized trials testing interventions to reduce trauma-related symptoms and substance misuse among NA.
methodsThe Healing Seasons study is a randomized comparsion trial of two counseling strategies, Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) addressing PTSD or Motivational interviewing with cognitive behavioral therapy skills training (MIST) addressing substance misuse as a means to prevent HIV among NA. Using a community-based participatory research approach, we adapted both evidence-based interventions to be specific to the risk contexts and realities of NA and to include psychoeducational and skill-building components that include cultural-specific stories, virtues, and traditional treatment strategies. Participants, 16 years and older, were recruited from a Pacific Northwest tribal community, screened over the phone, enrolled in person, and randomized in equal numbers to NET or MIST. We stratified by age (16-29 years and 30 or older) and gender (male or female identified) to ensure balance between treatment arms. The primary outcomes were number of sex partners and frequency of sexual acts (with and without condoms), sex under the influence of substances, frequency of substance use, and PTSD severity. DISCUSSION: Behavioral interventions for NA are needed to prevent HIV risk behaviors when faced with trauma symptoms and substance misuse. This study will provide evidence to determine feasibility and efficacy of addressing related risk factors as part of counseling-based HIV prevention intervention to reduce sexual risk among this population.
