Tele-counseling based on motivational interviewing to change sexual behavior of women living with HIV: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

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 transmission accounts for the majority of new HIV infections in Iran. More than 80% of HIV-positive persons are sexually active, and nearly 68% reported never using a condom. The present RCT study was conducted on a group of HIV-positive women using internet-based motivational interviewing. The participants, including 100 HIV-positive women, were randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. The intervention group received five weekly internet-based group motivational interviewing sessions focused on reducing risky behaviors, and the control group received routine care. Follow-ups occurred one month and three months after the end of the intervention. The participants completed demographic information, sexual behaviors, HIV knowledge, condom negotiation skills, and HIV-specific perceived social support scales before, one month, and three months after the intervention. Motivational interviewing was effective in improving knowledge about HIV/AIDS, condom negotiation skills, and HIV-specific perceived social support in the intervention group compared to controls. The intervention significantly increased using condoms in vaginal or anal intercourse in the last three months. Still, it was not effective at consistent condom use in all vaginal and anal sex. Further investigation or a larger RCT needs to confirm the using tele-counseling for women living with HIV.
