Firearms lethal means safety among Veterans: Attitudes toward involving a concerned significant other.
Article in Journal of military, veteran and family health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07692854 (Improving Secure Storage of Firearms to Reduce Suicide Deaths), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Introduction: This quality improvement project evaluated the acceptability and feasibility of involving concerned significant others (CSOs) in lethal means safety with Veterans who had suicidal ideation or a prior suicide attempt. Methods: Using a mixed-methods design, dyads were recruited to participate in qualitative interviews on current practices, attitudes, and recommendations related to secure firearm storage from the Veteran and CSO perspectives. Veterans (n = 29) and their CSOs (n = 4) were individually interviewed. Results: A majority of Veterans (n = 25) emphasized the importance of engaging in safe firearm practices, and many indicated that they wanted to discuss firearm access openly. In addition, most Veterans (n = 26) were receptive to a CSO limiting firearm access. Although the number of participating CSOs was small, all (n = 4) indicated a willingness to securely store firearms and emphasized the importance of having direct conversations about firearm storage with Veterans. Discussion: Findings provide initial support for receptiveness toward a person-level intervention incorporating a CSO into firearm safety planning for Veterans at risk for suicide.
