Physical and Behavioral Health Diagnoses and Comorbidities Associated With Transition From Military Health System to Veterans Health Care Among Post-9/11 Veterans.
Article in Health services research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo identify factors associated with transitioning from Military Health System (MHS) to Veterans Health Administration (VHA) care in post-9/11 veterans. STUDY SETTING AND
designRetrospective cohort study from the Long-Term Impact of Military-Relevant Brain Injury Consortium Phenotype Study. DATA SOURCES AND ANALYTIC SAMPLE: Population-level data were analyzed from MHS and VHA electronic health data (FY2000-2020). Participants received ≥ 3 years of MHS care and separated from the military before October 1, 2016. The primary outcome was transition from MHS to VHA care after military separation. Covariates included demographic, military, and deployment characteristics at military separation; physical, mental, and substance use disorder (SUD) diagnoses, behavioral risk factors, and multimorbidity 2 years before military separation. PRINCIPAL
findingsAmong 1,594,869 post-9/11 veterans, 81.9% were male, 54.2% active-duty, and 48.8% were ages 25-34. Of the 78% that transitioned to VHA care, 70% had combat deployments, 17.5% were women, and 38.5% were Asian/Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic, or Native American. Pain (55.8%) and smoking history (40.8%) were most prevalent 2 years before military separation. Post-9/11 veterans diagnosed with schizophrenia [average marginal effect (AME): 0.096, 95% CI: 0.0084-0.108] had a higher probability of transitioning to VHA care. Multimorbidity of TBI, PTSD, SUD, depression, or pain was associated with increased probability of transitioning to VHA care (AME: 0.043, 95% CI: 0.042-0.044). National Guard (AME: 0.089, 95% CI: 0.087-0.091) members transitioned more often than active duty members. Biracial/multiracial/multiethnic members (AME: -0.389, 95% CI: -0.395 to -0.383) had a lower probability of transitioning to VHA care.
conclusionsPost-9/11 veterans with multimorbidity and significant disease burden experienced more MHS-VHA care transitions. Biracial/multiracial/multiethnic members may benefit from enhanced care coordination between the MHS and VHA to reduce disparities and improve population health in post-9/11 veterans. Future research should examine MHS-VHA care transitions in service members treated for suicidality.
