Compensatory cognitive training for unstably housed, post-9/11 veterans in residential mental health treatment: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Psychiatry research, 2026. 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
Addressing homelessness in returning Veterans is a national priority. Contributors to homelessness include traumatic brain injury (TBI), psychiatric illness, substance abuse, and other medical conditions that are associated with cognitive impairment, which can interfere with obtaining income, housing, and rehabilitation. Compensatory Cognitive Training (CCT) is an intervention that teaches compensatory cognitive strategies to improve functioning in prospective memory, attention, learning/memory, and executive functioning, along with strategies to reduce stress and improve sleep. The current randomized controlled trial examined the efficacy of CCT compared to a robust control condition, Holistic Cognitive Education (HCE). Post-9/11 Veterans (n = 79) who were homeless or unstably housed and receiving VA residential psychiatric rehabilitation completed assessments at baseline, midpoint (5 weeks), and post-treatment (10 weeks). Veterans were randomized to receive 10 once-weekly, 1-hour manualized individual sessions of either CCT or HCE. Outcome measures included self-reported symptom and functioning ratings and a neuropsychological assessment. Multi-level modeling was used to examine treatment-related improvements in neuropsychological functioning and neurobehavioral symptoms at post-treatment. The models revealed that compared to the HCE group, the CCT group demonstrated greater improvements in attention/vigilance performance (d = 0.89), cognitive symptoms (d=-1.53), and interpersonal functioning (getting along with others; d=-0.87). HCE participants demonstrated greater improvement in speed of processing (a domain not targeted by CCT; d=-0.65). CCT has the potential to improve objective attention/vigilance and self-reported cognitive symptoms and interpersonal difficulties in unstably housed Veterans with complex medical and psychiatric comorbidities.
