The Role of Family-Level Factors in Firearm Storage Practices.
Review in Journal of community health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Firearm-related injuries and fatalities among youth in the United States represent a critical public health crisis. Secure firearm storage (i.e., keeping guns unloaded, locked, and stored separately from ammunition) is a proven strategy to reduce these risks. However, many households do not consistently adopt these practices. This review examines four key family-level factors that influence firearm storage decisions: (a) early firearm socialization, (b) family decision-making dynamics, (c) other household safety practices, and (d) parent understanding of child development and motivations regarding storage. Findings indicate that interventions may benefit from empowering parents to reflect on their early firearm socialization experiences, improving their understanding of children's development, integrating firearm safety into broader household safety frameworks, and promoting collaborative decision-making in multi-adult households. Future research should further investigate how these factors intersect to shape firearm storage practices, including the long-term effects of early firearm exposure through longitudinal studies, and variations across diverse family structures and contexts, including multigenerational households.
