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
Motivational interviewing (MI) is an effective means of facilitating behavior change in a variety of health conditions. However, given its origins in western psychology, its utility in ethnic populations is unclear. Our objective was to examine the effectiveness of MI and its components in people of varying ethnicities and how they may experience MI. We undertook a narrative systematic review of the literature, searching only peer-reviewed research up until February, 2019 with participants who were: ≥ 18 years of age, belonging to an ethnic origin relevant to Canada's population, and had a health related concern (e.g. drug and alcohol addictions, chronic illness). Four thousand seven hundred and sixty-one citations were retrieved, and ultimately 61 met the inclusion criteria. Cultural acknowledgment and considerations with MI, when described, enhanced effectiveness of MI in most ethnic groups. The length and the number of sessions had no apparent influence on the success of MI. When examined, most study participants reported acceptance of the intervention; however, there were challenges, most notably for Chinese patients. MI can be effective in a variety of ethnic groups, particularly when cultural acknowledgement is included in the process.
