1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This randomized trial evaluated ShootSafe, a theory-based website using a graphic novel storyline, educational and testimonial videos, and games, to teach firearms safety to children aged 10 to 12 years. A total of 163 youths participated. Linear mixed models found that youths randomized to ShootSafe demonstrated greater knowledge, safer behavioral intentions, and safer simulated hunting behaviors following training and at four-month follow-up compared with the control condition. Broad dissemination could reduce risk of unintentional pediatric firearms injury and death.
