Reciprocal relationship between sense of control and social support: a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model.
Article in Aging & mental health, 2025. 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
objectivesAlthough prior research has indicated the relationship between sense of control and social support in the context of older adults' well-being, little attention has been given to examining the inter-relationship between them longitudinally. Shedding light on the relationship between sense of control and social support, this study aimed to examine the reciprocal relationship between them, considering the two dimensions of sense of control (mastery/constraints) and the distinctive effects of different sources of social support (family/friends support). We also explored the gender differences in the associations.
methodThis study included 9540 individuals 50 and older from the Health and Retirement study (HRS; 2006/2008, 2010/2012, 2014/2016, and 2018/2020). To observe intra-individual changes in the relationship between sense of control and social support over time, we used a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model with the four waves. We also conducted multi-group analyses to examine the moderating effect of gender on the associations.
resultsWe found that sense of control and social support were concurrently related. Although not consistent across waves, mastery and constraints predicted friends support among women.
conclusionThis study suggests that sense of control may emerge as significant for women's perceived social support from friends, while it may not hold the same importance for men.
