Biomedical and behavioral outcomes of 2GETHER: A randomized controlled trial of a telehealth HIV prevention program for young male couples.
Trial report in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveThis study evaluated the efficacy of the 2GETHER relationship education and HIV prevention program for young male couples in reducing risk for HIV.
methodWe conducted a comparative effectiveness randomized controlled trial of 2GETHER, a five-session hybrid group- and couple-based intervention delivered via videoconference, relative to a single-session HIV testing and risk reduction counseling protocol delivered to couples. We randomized 200 young male couples (
resultsWe observed significant intervention effects on primary biomedical and behavioral HIV risk outcomes. Participants in 2GETHER had significantly lower odds of rectal STIs at 12-months relative to control. We also observed significantly steeper declines in the number of CAS partners and acts from baseline to 12-month follow-up in 2GETHER relative to control. Few differences were observed for secondary relationship and HIV-related outcomes.
conclusions2GETHER is an efficacious intervention that has a significant impact on both biomedical and behavioral HIV prevention outcomes among male couples. Couple-based HIV prevention programs enhanced with evidence-based relationship education may effectively reduce the most proximal predictors of HIV infection.
