Perceived Decisional Control as a Mediator between Moving to Assisted Living Due to Caregiver Burden and Relocation Adjustment.
Article in Clinical gerontologist. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe rapid growth of the older population in the United States has led to increased utilization of assisted living facilities (ALFs), and it is important to understand what factors may facilitate better adjustment. This study examined the mediating role of perceived decisional control in the relationship between moving to assisted living (AL) to prevent/alleviate caregiver burden and post-relocation adjustment.
methodsParticipants were 91 newly-transitioned residents of ALFs in Alabama and Maryland. Data were gathered through in-person interviews and questionnaires. Mediation analyses were done using the PROCESS macro for SPSS, applying 5,000 bootstrap resamples with 95% bias-corrected confidence intervals estimated around the indirect effect.
resultsThe effect of moving to AL to prevent/alleviate caregiver burden on post-relocation depression and socialization was indirect and dependent on the degree of perceived decisional control.
conclusionsPerceived decisional control may be a key factor in adjusting to AL, even when the move is catalyzed by such a complex and emotionally laden construct as caregiver burden. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Greater perceived decisional control over potential relocation may facilitate better adjustment, and other parties involved in the decision-making process should strive to involve the older adult in question in this process to the greatest extent possible.
