Association Between S-CARES Scores and Hospitalisation Due to Respiratory Infections in People With Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to determine whether S-CARES is associated with respiratory infection-related hospitalisation in people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities.
methodThis single-centre retrospective study involved 103 people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (mean age: 36 years; males: 60). Two physical therapists assessed them using the S-CARES at baseline and after 1 year. The primary outcome was respiratory infection-related hospitalisation. Associations were examined using logistic regression and receiver-operating characteristic analysis. Risk stratification was evaluated using Fisher's exact test.
resultsSixteen people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (15.5%) were hospitalised. Median S-CARES scores were higher in the hospitalised group (58.5 vs. 38.0; p < 0.001). Higher S-CARES scores were independently associated with hospitalisation (odds ratio 1.08, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.14; p = 0.005; area under the curve = 0.777).
conclusionsHigher S-CARES scores may help identify people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities at increased risk, supporting early intervention and resource prioritisation.
