Social Vulnerability Index and Its Association With Postpartum Care Attendance.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology, 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 evaluate whether there is an association between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) score and postpartum care attendance.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of patients who delivered at 20 0/7 weeks of gestation or later at any of three hospitals within a New York City health care system from January 1, 2022, to February 1, 2024, and had at least one prenatal outpatient visit at an affiliated site before delivery. The primary outcome was at least one outpatient in-person obstetric visit within 12 weeks of delivery. The exposure was CDC-defined SVI score, with a validated technique for geocoding patient addresses used to assign overall SVI score and SVI theme scores. The SVI score was categorized into quartiles representing low to high social vulnerability. Demographic, medical, and obstetric factors were examined with univariable and multivariable logistic regression.
resultsOf 21,539 eligible patients, 14,026 (65.1%) attended an in-person postpartum visit within 12 weeks of delivery. In-person postpartum visit attendance was documented in 2,147 (50.3%) of those with high social vulnerability, 3,020 (64.4%) of those with medium-to-high SVI score, 4,568 (70.6%) of those with low-to-medium SVI score, and 4,191 (70.6%) of those with low SVI score. In univariable analysis, both medium-to-high SVI score and high SVI score were associated with lower odds of attending a postpartum visit (odds ratio [OR] 0.75 [95% CI, 0.70-0.82] and 0.42 [95% CI, 0.39-0.46], respectively) compared with those with low SVI score. These associations were also detected among the SVI socioeconomic, household composition, and racial and ethnic minority themes but not housing type and transportation theme. However, only high SVI score was associated with decreased odds of attending an in-person postpartum visit in multivariable models (adjusted OR 0.85 [95% CI, 0.78-0.94]).
conclusionA high SVI score was associated with lower likelihood of in-person postpartum visit attendance within 12 weeks of delivery.
