Article in Journal of military, veteran and family health, 2025. 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: Veterans and their family care partners represent a unique demographic with specific needs that may differ from those of the general population. The transition to a long-term-care home (LTCH) has the potential to profoundly affect older adult Veterans and their care partners, yet research on how this move affects them is limited. This study explored the experiences and needs of older adult Veterans and their family care partners transitioning to a LTCH from the perspective of the care partner. Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was used for this project. One-time semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine family care partners of older adult Veterans living in LTCHs across Canada. Coding and thematic analysis were used to iteratively categorize and synthesize the data. Results: The analysis revealed three overarching themes with the following sub-themes: 1) information gaps and knowledge use, 2) feeling valued, recognized, and supported, and 3) the health and well-being of the Veteran and family care partner. These sub-themes were seen throughout all stages of the move to a LTCH, including the pre-, during-, and post-transition stages, and served to either impede or assist in a positive transition. Discussion: The results of this study will lead to an increased awareness of the specific challenges and facilitators faced by care partners and Veterans transitioning to a LTCH, ultimately leading to recommended changes in how they are supported throughout this move.
