Sleep, PTSD, and suicide risk in U.S. veterans.
Article in Frontiers in sleep, 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
Introduction: The stresses of military service can contribute independently to mental health and sleep problems in military personnel that persist after leaving military service. Understanding how sleep and mental health challenges contribute to behavioral health outcomes is key to supporting this population. To advance these goals, this study examined associations among PTSD, sleep disturbance, and suicide risk in U.S. veterans. Methods: Online survey data using valid and reliable measures were collected from3,188 veterans living in Southern California as part of a large needs assessment; suicide risk was measured by the SBQ-R, which assess ideation, behaviors and attempts. A structural equation modeling approach was used to test the direct effects of PTSD on sleep problems and suicide risk, the direct effect of sleep on suicide risk, and an indirect effect of PTSD on suicide risk through the sleep pathway. Results: Findings demonstrated significant direct effects for PTSD (B = 0.05, Discussion: Results advance the understanding of how sleep problems may be associated with the risk of suicide in U.S. veterans, both directly through its effects on suicide risk and indirectly through the effects on PTSD symptomatology. Practitioners and policy makers may consider ensuring the assessment and treatment of sleep problems in veterans are included in suicide prevention models.
