Setbacks to strengths: A scoping review of positive psychology constructs among veterans and service members with traumatic brain injury.
Article in Rehabilitation psychology, 2026. 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
PURPOSE/
objectiveTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major health concern for military personnel, and recovery and rehabilitation have historically focused on pathology and deficits. Recent efforts have shifted toward strength-based approaches, with a focus on positive psychology factors in TBI recovery. This study conducted a scoping review of the current research on positive psychology constructs (PPCs) among military personnel with TBI. RESEARCH METHOD/
designUsing Joanna Briggs Institute and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, we identified English peer-reviewed studies published from 2000 to 2024 across four databases (MEDLINE, Embase, APA PsycInfo, and Web of Science) using search terms representing PPCs investigated among adults with military background and TBI. After abstract and full-text screening of 942 studies, data were extracted from 55 studies that met the inclusion criteria for this scoping review.
resultsThe majority of studies represent veterans ( CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: An ecological framework situates PPCs across individual, social, and environmental domains, contextualizing multiple spheres of influence on recovery from TBI. Future rehabilitation research would benefit from intentional study design planning with coherent theoretical frameworks that clarify the relationships between PPCs, outcomes, and contextual factors.
