Understanding risk in younger Veterans: Risk and protective factors associated with suicide attempt, homelessness, and arrest in a nationally representative Veteran sample.
Article in Military psychology : the official journal of the Division of Military Psychology, American Psychological Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Accumulating research suggests unique patterns of suicide risk, homelessness, and criminal-justice involvement in younger (age < 40) relative to older (aged 40+) cohorts of Veterans. However, potential explanations for these differences remain unclear. To address this gap, we analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of more than 4,000 US military Veterans to compare risk and protective correlations of prior suicidal behavior, homelessness, and justice-involvement in younger versus older Veterans. Results revealed that younger Veterans were significantly more likely than older Veterans to have a history of suicide attempt(s) (13.9% vs. 2.7%) and homelessness (22.5% vs. 8.7%). They also scored higher on measures of risk factors and lower on measures of protective factors. However, some factors - specifically, resilience, grit, impulsiveness, perceptions of the effect of the military on one's life and social support - were less strongly associated with a history of adverse events in younger versus older Veterans. Findings highlight the need for preventative homelessness and mental health services for younger Veterans that are tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of this age cohort.
