Data Resource Profile: The Social Services Client Administration and Retrieval Environment (SOSCARE) administrative dataset for children's social care in Northern Ireland.
Article in International journal of population data science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Children in contact with the children's social care (CSC) system are a vulnerable group likely to have experienced one or multiple forms of childhood adversity. Understanding the characteristics and social care pathways of these children and their health and social outcomes across the life course is important for informing policy and practice. The Social Services Client Administration and Retrieval Environment (SOSCARE) dataset holds routinely collected CSC data in Northern Ireland (NI). The aim of this data resource profile is to provide an overview of the three key modules in the SOSCARE dataset to act as a guide for researchers. Methods: This paper reports selected data contained in the SOSCARE data modules relating to Children in Need, Child Protection Registrations and Children in Care between 1995 and 2015. Information on how to access the data and the strengths and limitations are discussed. Results: The SOSCARE dataset is available to approved researchers via the Health and Social Care Honest Broker Service (HSC HBS) in NI and allows researchers to examine population-level interactions with key statutory thresholds of CSC. Between 1 Conclusion: The SOSCARE data provides detailed case level information on all children in contact with CSC in NI. Research using this data can make an important contribution to evidence-informed policy and practice.
