Firearm Storage and the Perceived Risks and Value of Firearms: Differences Among Firearm Owners and Nonfirearm Owners With and Without a History of Suicidal Ideation.
Article in Suicide & life-threatening behavior, 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
objectiveTo identify firearm behaviors and perceptions that differentiate firearm owners with a history of suicidal thoughts from other firearm owners and from nonfirearm owners with a history of suicidal thoughts.
methodsA nationally representative sample (n = 8009) of adults residing in the United States completed a self-report survey May 15-May 28, 2024.
resultsFirearm owners with a history of suicidal thoughts were 45% likelier to store firearms loaded and unlocked and reported a stronger belief that home firearm access increases suicide risk. Some subgroups of firearm owners more heavily represented among those with a history of suicidal thoughts (e.g., women) were more likely to store firearms loaded and unlocked if they endorsed a history of suicidal thoughts.
conclusionsFirearm owners with a history of suicidal thoughts are more likely to recognize the link between firearm access and suicide risk, but nonetheless are more likely to store firearms unsecured. Identification of firearm owners with suicidal ideation remains difficult, but findings point toward subgroups and beliefs to target with messages aimed at promoting secure firearm storage.
