The Demography of Mortality Disadvantage Among Male U.S. Veterans in Later Life: New Evidence From the Health and Retirement Study.
Article in American journal of men's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Using the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), this article explores the association between military service and mortality among American men over age 50 between 1992 and 2020. Cox regressions show veterans who served during wartime have consistently higher mortality than nonveterans across major conflicts of the 20th century. Peacetime service does not increase mortality significantly, but Hispanic peacetime veterans have lower mortality than other Hispanic veterans and nonveterans. Using a much larger set of survey data than has been used previously, the findings here reveal a different age profile than found in some previous research. In particular, the 50s and 60s are particularly sensitive life stages for wartime veterans, especially for the Vietnam-era veterans. Finally, this analysis suggests some potential health benefits from military service-even in wartime-but, on balance, the negative consequences of warmaking are stronger and extend well into later life.
