Social vulnerability is associated with post-operative morbidity following robotic-assisted lung resection.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The social vulnerability index (SVI) is a neighborhood-based metric used to determine an individual's susceptibility to socioeconomic hardship, with high SVI indicating high susceptibility. SVI has previously been associated with surgical outcomes. We aimed to determine if SVI influences morbidity following robotic-assisted lung resection. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study at one academic medical center (1/1/2021-11/30/2022). Patients undergoing robotic-assisted lung resection were grouped into low (<75 Results: We included 320 patients, of which 40 patients (12.5%) in the high-SVI group and 280 (87.5%) in the low-SVI group. High SVI patients were more likely to be non-Caucasian and of Hispanic ethnicity, but there were no other differences in perioperative characteristics (all P>0.05). High SVI patients were more likely to experience a post-operative complication (42.5% Conclusions: High SVI was associated with increased risk-adjusted odds of morbidity after robotic-assisted lung resection. Highly vulnerable patients should be allocated perioperative resources to help mitigate the increased risk of these complications.
