Demographic, Circumstantial, and Geographic Patterns of Firearm-related Homicides and Suicides in Mississippi, 2021-2023.
Article in Journal of public health in the deep South, 2026. 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
Background: Firearm violence ranks among the leading causes of death in Mississippi. Understanding its demographic, circumstantial, and geographic patterns is essential to inform prevention efforts. Purpose: To describe demographic, circumstantial, and geographic patterns of firearm-related homicides and suicides in Mississippi during 2021-2023 using Mississippi Violent Death Reporting System (MSVDRS) data. Methods: Percentages and crude rates of firearm-related homicides and suicides were analyzed by demographic characteristics for 2021-2023. Results: Firearm-related homicides were concentrated among younger Black males, most often precipitated by arguments, crime-related activity, or intimate partner problems, with the highest rates in the capital area and western Mississippi, particularly the Delta region. Firearm-related suicides primarily involved older White males and were frequently associated with mental health problems, depressed mood, or substance use. These deaths were most common in central, northeastern, and southwestern rural and mixed rural-suburban counties. Conclusion: Firearm-related deaths remain a major public health concern in Mississippi, highlighting the importance of community-based prevention, mental health support, and ongoing MSVDRS surveillance to guide targeted interventions.
