Adapted Motivational Interviewing Reduces Substance Use and Sexual Risk Taking Among Partnered Sexual Minority Men Aged 18-35 Years: Results of the PARTNER Study.
Trial report in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2026. 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
backgroundThe development of interventions addressing drug use and sexual HIV infection risk for emerging adult sexual minority men in primary relationships is a public health priority. This study evaluated the efficacy of PARTNER, a 4-session motivational interviewing intervention, to reduce cannabis and illicit drug use, increase preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake, and reduce HIV infection risk.
settingStaff at Hunter College in New York City, NY, administered study procedures between January 2018 and February 2024.
methodsParticipants included 196 HIV-negative cisgender sexual minority men aged 18-34 years who had adult cisgender male partners. All reported recent drug use and condomless anal sex with a casual partner or with a serodiscordant or nonmonogamous main partner. Participants were randomized to PARTNER or a time-and-attention matched education control condition. They completed follow-ups at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postbaseline.
resultsAt immediate follow-up, PARTNER significantly reduced illicit drug use among those who scored ≥1 SD above the mean on relationship satisfaction (B = -1.461; P = 0.013) and those ≥1 SD below the mean on communication skills (B = -1.249; P = 0.050). Effects were moderate in size ( βpartial = 0.584 and 0.510). Although PrEP uptake diminished over time in the control condition, participants assigned to PARTNER had significantly more positive trajectories, indicating increasing PrEP uptake. Between-condition differences in cannabis and sexual HIV infection risk were nonsignificant.
conclusionsPARTNER achieved moderate immediate reductions in illicit drug use (for those with high levels of relationship satisfaction or low levels of communication skills) and improved trajectories of PrEP uptake compared with a highly competitive control.
