Socioeconomic Correlates of Suicidal Ideation in Military Veterans: Examining the Interaction Between Homelessness and Financial Debt.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Studies in veterans have yet to examine interconnections between homelessness, financial debt, and suicidal ideation. We analyzed data from a nationally-representative study conducted in 2021 of low-income U.S. veterans (N = 1,004). Analyses revealed veterans who were younger, male, had a history of criminal arrests, met criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), reported greater loneliness, or had both a history of homelessness and higher debt were more likely to endorse suicidal ideation. We found an interaction between a history of homelessness and current debt: 40% of veterans with both past homelessness and higher debt reported suicidal ideation, whereas only 10% of veterans with either past homelessness or higher debt reported suicidal ideation. As past homelessness and current debt interacted to increase the odds of suicidal ideation in a national sample of veterans, these results inform policy and clinical decision-making for suicide prevention and in programs serving veterans experiencing homelessness.
