Developing and testing the predictive validity of household firearm storage measures: insights from rural Alaska.

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
introductionMeasuring change in firearm storage is paramount to evaluating if interventions influence storage. Yet, there is little empirical basis for how to measure this change. This methodology study compared three different firearm storage measures using data from the Family Safety Net trial (n=46), a randomised controlled trial among firearm-owning adults in a rural Alaska Native community to encourage unloaded and locked firearm storage.
methodsThe team compared baseline and 1-month follow-up measures of household firearm storage: (1) cumulative firearm accessibility, (2) average firearm accessibility, and (3) number of unlocked firearms. All measures included information about locking status; the cumulative and average firearm accessibility measures incorporated additional information about ammunition. Unadjusted and adjusted generalised estimating equations evaluated the associations of the storage measures with adult perceptions of youth firearm access. Receiver operating characteristic curves from unadjusted models compared the measures' abilities to predict adult perceptions of youth firearm access.
resultsAll household firearm storage measures were sensitive to change between baseline and 1 month follow-up (
conclusionThe number of unlocked firearms is an easily interpretable outcome when evaluating the effect of firearm storage interventions on storage practices, and it performed similarly well in predicting adults' perceptions of youth firearm access as compared with more complex measures. Research that evaluates the ability of firearm storage measures to predict actual youth access will inform interventions to prevent youth firearm access.
