Australian military personnel perspectives on family, service, and deployment: An analysis of open-ended survey data.
Article in Journal of military, veteran and family health, 2023. 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: Qualitative research exploring the interplay among service, deployment, and family from the perspective of military personnel has focused on specific issues such as parenting. The literature on broader family topics is limited. The aim of this study was to address the research gap by analyzing responses to an open-ended question in a survey about health and family. Methods: Australian Defence Force personnel (N = 1,556) completed a survey in 2011-2012 that assessed their health and obtained their perceptions of the impact of service on their families. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on responses to a broad, open-ended question at the end of the survey. Results: Of the 502 (32%) participants who responded to the open-ended question, 264 (17%) provided a response that discussed the interplay between service and family or deployment and family. Living away from family for service reasons, heavy workloads, and non-family-friendly organizational practices were key issues that played a role in relationship breakdown and in personnel leaving military service or becoming reservists. Discussion: This study revealed several personnel concerns not previously explored in a military family survey that have implications for family well-being and service retention. Armed forces need to ensure that policies relating to work-family balance are enforced in practice by all leaders and across all sectors.
