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 pilot sequential multiple assignment randomized trial estimated the feasibility, acceptability, and scalability of telehealth motivational enhancement interventions for optimizing HIV prevention efforts in sexual minority men (SMM) who use stimulants.
methodSeventy SMM who use stimulants with nonreactive HIV results that were not taking preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) were randomized to: (a) a two-session motivational interviewing (MI) intervention focusing on PrEP use and concomitant risk behaviors; or (b) a contingency management (CM) intervention with financial incentives for PrEP clinical evaluation ($50) and filling a PrEP prescription ($50). After 3 months, participants who reported they had not filled a prescription for PrEP were randomized a second time to: (a) switch to a second-stage intervention (i.e., MI + CM); or (b) continue with assessments only.
resultsThere was a robust engagement in the interventions, which participants described as flexible and nonjudgmental. Participants reported using CM incentives to meet basic needs and indicated that MI sessions improved their understanding of PrEP. The estimated cost of intervention delivery per participant was $404 for MI, $236 for CM, and $475 for MI + CM. Across both randomizations, participants who received CM only were most likely to provide verified evidence of PrEP use over 6 months, and there were potential benefits for reducing concomitant risk behaviors in nonresponders receiving MI + CM. Prior PrEP use and increases in PrEP intentions were significantly associated with verified PrEP use.
conclusionAlthough more definitive trials are needed to examine effectiveness, telehealth motivational enhancement interventions are promising, scalable approaches for optimizing HIV prevention among SMM who use stimulants. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
