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: Women Veterans represent a growing and unique minority group among the older (aged ≥65 y) U.S. Veteran population. Research indicates that the impact of serving in the military on Veterans' health and well-being varies by gender. Limited research exists specific to women Veterans' experiences of their time in the military and its long-term impact on their health and well-being. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of older U.S. women Veterans regarding their experiences and perceptions of their time in military service and its overall impact on their lives. Methods: Data were gathered from five older women Veterans using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using a thematic coding process. Results: Four main themes emerged from the qualitative analysis: 1) family military history, 2) being treated differently and proving themselves, 3) making the most of opportunities, and 4) lasting personal strengths. Discussion: Findings from this study show that despite enduring negative experiences during military service because of their gender, participants credited the military with having an overall positive impact on their lives in the long term. This study suggests that health care professionals would benefit from gaining an understanding of the historical narrative of women Veterans. Interventions and services that tap into positive aspects of military service, as identified by older women Veterans (i.e., personal strengths such as resilience and pride), may help promote the health and well-being of this population.
