Applying polyvictimization theory to veterans: Associations with substance use and mental health.
Article in Psychology of addictive behaviors : journal of the Society of Psychologists in Addictive Behaviors, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectivePrior work has linked exposure to multiple types of trauma (i.e., polyictimization) to increased risk of negative behavioral health outcomes compared with exposure to any single event. However, few studies have attempted to understand how polyvictimization theory relates specifically to veterans' experiences and behavioral health outcomes. The present study assessed heterogeneity in reports of childhood trauma, combat trauma, and military sexual trauma.
methodWe recruited 1,230 veterans outside of traditional Veterans Health Administration settings to participate in a study assessing behavioral health. On average, participants were 34.5 years old with the majority identifying as White (79.3%) and male (88.7%). We used latent class analysis to extract classes of traumatic experience exposure including childhood trauma, combat trauma, and military sexual trauma.
resultsFive classes emerged: (a)
conclusionA polyvictimization framework was partially supported, with differential effects on behavioral health outcomes noted across trauma experiences. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
