Social Vulnerability Index Is Associated With Major Morbidity After Lung Resection.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
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: Little is known about the prognostic impact of the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection. Methods: Patients who underwent lung resection for stage IA-IIB NSCLC at a single institution between 2010 and 2021 were included in the study. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons definition of major morbidity, consisting of 14 postoperative events, was used. The SVI was determined by geocoding the permanent addresses of Illinois residents and using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calculator for a census-tract level SVI. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association between the SVI and major morbidity. Cut-point analysis was performed to determine the SVI cutoff that most strongly correlated with major morbidity. Results: A total of 551 patients met inclusion criteria, and 65% (356 of 551) of these patients underwent lobectomy. The SVI cutoff was determined to be 0.831 ( Conclusions: A high SVI is associated with major morbidity after video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection for NSCLC.
