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
Women in military contexts navigate chronic pain shaped by intersecting social, institutional, and material factors. Military institutions, grounded in masculine ideals, often exacerbate these challenges, influencing how pain is experienced, managed, and communicated. Chronic pain among women is frequently dismissed or pathologized, compelling them to conform to medical expectations to be taken seriously. Gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and migration further compound these experiences. Additionally, military women shoulder gendered caregiving roles and may face personal or systemic trauma, deepening their vulnerabilities. Their bodies are enmeshed in military systems, technologies, and equipment, creating dynamic entanglements that influence pain. This article examines how these complexities shape chronic pain among military women and how an ethics of care can foster systemic change. By exploring the interplay of physiology, psychology, and social dimensions in militarized environments, this article advocates for compassionate and intersectional approaches to addressing chronic pain. Through this lens, it seeks to highlight the unique experiences of military women and promote culture change for improved care and well-being.
