The Association Between the Social Vulnerability Index and Access to California High School Athletic Trainers.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2025. 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
contextSocial determinants of health are known to affect overall access to youth sports; however, it is not fully understood how multiple social determinants of health may affect access to school-based athletic training services.
objectiveTo determine the relationship between Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) scores on access to high school-based athletic trainers (ATs) in California.
designRetrospective, cross-sectional study.
settingOnline survey. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsCalifornia Interscholastic Federation (CIF) high school respondents of the 2022-2023 Participation Census. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Association between SVI scores and access to school-based AT services. In this study, we used data from CIF high school respondents of the 2022-2023 Participation Census. School addresses were used to extract SVI scores from the US Census Bureau. Separate multivariable logistic regressions and generalized linear mixed effects models assessed the relationships between access to school-based athletic training services and SVI scores at the census and county levels.
resultsOf the 1598 respondent schools (65% public, 24% private, and 11% charter), 49% reported having an AT, of which 41% were certified. Adjusted analyses revealed that increased vulnerability in household characteristics was associated with lower odds of access to ATs and certified ATs at both county (odds ratio [OR] = 0.89 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.80, 0.99]; P = .04) and census tract levels (OR = 0.93 [95% CI = 0.89, 0.97]; P = .002). Increased vulnerability in socioeconomic status was associated with lower odds of having a certified AT at the census tract level (OR = 0.94 [95% CI = 0.89, 0.98]; P = .006) but not the county level (P = .16).
conclusionsIncreased vulnerability in household characteristics is associated with decreased odds of access to high school-based athletic training services.
