Female Veterans' risk factors for homelessness: A scoping review.
Review 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. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 proportion of Canadian female Veterans who are homeless is greater than that of their male counterparts. The Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs recommended research be conducted to better understand Canadian female Veteran homelessness. In response to this recommendation, this scoping review of peer-reviewed literature and grey literature was undertaken as a first step to identify the existing literature exploring homelessness among female Veterans. Methods: A scoping review of the literature was performed, focusing on the risk factors and lived experiences associated with homelessness among female Veterans. Articles were screened for relevance and critically appraised. Results: A total of 927 studies were retrieved. Nine articles were added from additional sources. After a two-phase screening approach, 15 studies were included for analysis. All studies were from the United States. Several risk factors for homelessness were identified for female Veterans across their lifespan: adverse childhood events, abuse, family upheaval, military sexual trauma, intimate partner violence, substance use, physical and mental health diagnoses, race and racism, and gender discrimination. Discussion: This scoping review illustrates that a paucity of literature exists on the life experiences of Canadian female Veterans who are homeless. However, it identified several important themes that can guide future research focused on understanding the risk factors contributing to homelessness for this population. Furthermore, a critical analysis of existing literature illustrated the need for research focused on the interactions among social location, historical experience, and socio-demographic characteristics to more fully understand the risk factors that influence being homeless.
