Screening for Firearm Violence Exposure in Adolescents and Young Adults.

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
introductionFirearm violence now accounts for more than 45,000 deaths annually in America, making it the leading cause of death in the pediatric population. Despite this, primary care clinicians (PCCs) lack screening tools to assess a patient's future risk of gun violence, hampering the ability to allocate resources that could prevent morbidity and mortality.
methodsLongitudinal quantitative study designed to evaluate whether the Serious fighting, Friend weapon carrying, community Environment, and firearm Threats (SaFETy) score and other measures could predict gun violence exposure over 6 months in a nonurban primary care (PC) based adolescent-young adult population.
resultsEighty-eight patients between the ages of 14 to 24 completed the baseline questionnaire and 62 completed the 6-month questionnaire. 45% of participants had a SaFETy score >0. Any score >0 indicates an increased risk of future firearm violence. A strong correlation was found between the SaFETy score and gun violence exposure, and Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs).
conclusionsThis was among the first studies attempting to assess the viability of screening for firearm violence and other associated risk factors in a nonurban PC setting. Our findings suggest that adolescent and young adult PC patients are willing to disclose in a survey topics related to violence and firearms with their PCC. If validated in the PC setting, the SaFETy score could become a crucial tool for PCCs given the ease with which it can be implemented into a routine visit and the nonthreatening, and nonconfrontational question design. Tools such as the SaFETy score can provide PCPs with vital insight into their patients' past gun violence exposures and future violence risks.
