I've never understood why there's such a fierce embargo on the names of SOAP-eligible programs during Match Week. A month later, the NRMP releases the full list of which programs filled and which didn't. So why all the secrecy?
Anyway, for those MS4s curious how things shook out for their specialty... Or MS3s who want to know which programs might be easy targets next year...
Easiest way to navigate this huge PDF is to actually look at the state-by-state breakdown here first. Ctrl+F for your desired specialty, and identify the states that had unfilled positions: http://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Main-Match-Result-by-State-and-Specialty-2018.pdf
Then, cross-reference those states with the PDF here and find the individual programs that went unfilled: http://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Program-Results-2014-2018.pdf

why there's such a fierce embargo
It's to prevent attendings from championing their unmatched student to the PD of a SOAP program

Makes sense, but that's already a match violation, and anyone going through the SOAP process with their school's support has likely told their advisors where they're sending their SOAP apps to anyway.

Eh match violations happen about as often as people speed on the highway. Tons of my classmates were asked about marriage/pregnancy/etc

There are some match violations that are more violationy than others. The NRMP actively flags programs whose faculty initiate contact to SOAPing programs, but doesn't investigate the types of violations you mentioned (which I personally experienced). See my previous post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalschool/comments/7j4fpd/nrmp_investigates_only_alleged_breaches_of_the/

So serious question, what happens to match violations, at least the ones you reported? Might make a new post on this.

Looks like DR in 2015 was a non-competitive year. Looks like lots of programs not fully matching.

Shameless plug for the website I made where you can easily browse all this info and make some plots of match trends over the last few years.
Yours is sooooo much better. Did you just add the SOAP functionality recently? I swear I've seen your site before, but I don't remember it having this info.
My post is garbage and you're the real MVP (even if it bugs me that it says Chose instead of Choose).
Can't remember if it was in the first version, but it's been up for a while I think. More new are THE PLOTS!
I blame NRMP. And I will continue to blame them for any bad thing that happens to me for the next few years of my life.
No one will ever believe you now that I've fixed it... Hah, thanks for pointing that out.
Amazing!! Thanks for the fix!
