Factors associated with well-being among treatment-seeking UK Veterans: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of military, veteran and family health, 2024. 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: Comorbidity is the norm, rather than the exception, among UK treatment-seeking armed forces Veterans, who face a greater risk of experiencing mental health difficulties than the general UK population. Veterans may also experience poor overall well-being across various domains, including work-related challenges, loneliness, and instability in relationships. This study aimed to explore associations between mental ill health and mental well-being to add to the literature on the complexity of functioning and mental health presentations in clinical Veteran samples. Methods: A total of 428 UK Armed Forces Veterans (mean age 50.5 [SD 10.9] y) who received treatment for mental health difficulties at a UK Veteran mental health charity completed a survey that collected responses on the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale measure of mental well-being, as well as a range of mental health and functioning outcomes. Results: Linear regression analysis revealed that well-being was significantly negatively associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression, symptoms of physical health difficulties, possible problems with anger, moral injury, and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD. Functioning outcomes related to well-being were alcohol misuse, sleep problems, and loneliness. Alcohol misuse, sleep problems, and symptoms of loneliness were associated with lower well-being scores. Discussion: Implications of this pattern of relationships are discussed, including the potential benefits of a transdiagnostic and sub-clinical outcome measure for interventions targeting mental ill health, as well as positive mental health, among Veterans.
