Factors Associated With Prioritizing Quick Firearm Access Over Suicide Prevention Among US Adults.
Article in Suicide & life-threatening behavior, 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
objectiveTo examine characteristics associated with US adults favoring storing firearms unlocked to ensure quick access in an emergency, even if doing so increases the risk for suicide.
methodA total of 2963 adults with home firearm access were drawn from a nationally representative sample of US adults (n = 7521). Participants were members of a probability-based panel and completed a self-report survey between June 24 and July 10, 2025.
resultsBeing female (OR = 0.82; 95% CI = 0.69-0.99), children in the home (OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.33-0.50), trust in the government for protection (OR = 0.89; 95% CI = 0.82-0.97), and beliefs that home firearm access increases suicide risk (OR = 0.66; 95% CI = 0.59-0.75) were associated with lower odds of endorsing firearms should be stored unlocked. Loaded and unlocked storage (OR = 5.90; 95% CI = 4.88-7.15), frequent firearm carrying (OR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.01-1.15), and belief that firearms are essential for protection (OR = 1.40; 95% CI = 1.27-1.54) were associated with greater odds of endorsing firearms should be stored unlocked.
conclusionsThe results could mean those who feel responsible for protecting loved ones and believe firearms are essential for that task are more likely to endorse favoring unlocked firearm storage, even if they believe this will increase suicide risk.
