Pediatric Nonfatal Firearm Injury Health Care Utilization.
Review in Pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 injury is a leading cause of death among children in the United States. For every 1 child killed by a firearm, approximately 2 to 4 more are injured and survive. An emerging literature characterizes changes in health care utilization and costs attributable to survivors of pediatric firearm injuries. We provide a summary that may guide intervention efforts focused on both injury prevention and postinjury care. Among 15 studies, we found that multiple categories of health care use increased after firearm injury, including hospitalizations and readmissions, compared both to preinjury patterns and to non-firearm-injured controls. Mental health diagnoses also increased after firearm injury. Health care spending increased considerably in the first-year postinjury among both injured children and their families. There are few data addressing longer-term health care outcomes and expenditures. To quantify the continuing economic and societal impact of firearm injury as well as the cost-effectiveness of prevention efforts, longitudinal research is needed to address the health impacts on firearm-injured children, families, and communities.
