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
We surveyed 700 veterans who were outpatients in a non-Veterans Affairs (VA) multihospital system. Our objective was to assess the prevalence of mental disorders and service use among these veterans. The majority were Vietnam veterans (72.0%), and male (95.9%), and 40.4% reported recently using the VA for care. The prevalence of lifetime post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was 9.6%, lifetime depression 18.4%, and lifetime mental health service use 50.1%. In multivariate analyses, significant factors associated with PTSD, depression, and mental health service use were low self-esteem, use of alcohol/drugs to cope, history of childhood adversity, high combat exposure, and low psychological resilience. VA service use was associated with greater mental health service use and combat exposure. With the exception of alcohol misuse, the mental health status of veterans seen in non-VA facilities appeared to be better than reported in past studies. Because most veterans have access to both VA and non-VA services, these findings have implications for veterans and outcomes research.
