Healthcare Mobility among United States Military Veterans with Experience of Housing Instability.
Article in Community mental health journal, 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
Housing instability, generally, is associated with a lack of access to care. The present study explores healthcare mobility among Veterans experiencing housing instability to identify the magnitude of this phenomenon and whether it is associated with certain patient characteristics or needs. The sample included 486,675 Veterans with 4 or more healthcare visits during the year following identification of homelessness. Analyses compared (a) baseline characteristics of Veterans who did and did not experience high healthcare mobility (i.e., receipt of healthcare services at 4 or more U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers) and (b) services use during the observation period. Among the sample, 0.7% experienced high healthcare mobility. Veterans with a rural residence had 30% greater odds of high healthcare mobility; baseline use of primary care was associated with reduced odds. The findings represent the combined challenges of accessing healthcare when experiencing housing instability and while residing in a rural area and highlight the need to ensure that there is access to needed care. Future work should assess Veterans' access to community-based resources, particularly in rural areas and new ways of delivering care in these areas.
