Motivational interviewing for family planning and reducing risky sexual behavior among incarcerated men nearing release: A randomized controlled pilot study.
Trial report in Psychological services, 2023. 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
Incarcerated men are at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended partner pregnancy postrelease. Limited research has been invested in developing and testing treatments targeting risky sexual behavior and unwanted pregnancy for this at-risk population. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a promising behavioral intervention for decreasing risky sexual behaviors. This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of MI for family planning and risky sexual behaviors with incarcerated men nearing release. Preliminary efficacy of the MI intervention was also compared to an educational control group. Thirty-two men were assessed at baseline and randomized to one 90-min session. Assessment occurred 2 months after release. MI was feasibly administered, and participants were highly satisfied with both treatments. In addition, those who received MI reported higher rates of condom use with casual partners, higher rates of partner use of hormonal contraceptives, and slightly higher rates of sex that was protected against pregnancy. Increases are readiness to discuss family planning with sexual partners, as well as reported frequency of these discussions, and increases in family planning knowledge were also found in those randomized to MI. The findings from this study indicate the need to further assess MI with this population with a full-scale clinical trial. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
