Should Substance Use Counselors Choose a Direction For Their Clients? Motivational Interviewing Trainers May Be Ambivalent.
Article in Alcoholism treatment quarterly, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is comprised of a client-centered relationship and a clear intention on the part of the practitioner to influence behavior change. This study explores MI trainers' decisions about their use of directionality in MI as they instruct others in the method. 111 MI trainers were asked to select content they would include in a hypothetical MI training. Almost half of trainers chose to teach trainees to "always maintain an attitude of equipoise", a strategy that is contradicted by MI theory and empirical data. This finding suggests a theoretical rift within the MI community with implications for substance use counseling.
