1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Brand evangelism is essential to the profitability of e-shops, but the effects of failure attribution and recovery justice in encouraging brand evangelism in the online service recovery context are not straightforward. Grounded on a framework integrating Attribution theory, Justice theory, and Attachment theory, this study explores whether failure attribution and recovery justice affect brand evangelism through recovery satisfaction with emotional attachment as a moderator. We gathered 400 samples from e-shoppers who encountered a service failure and recovery in the past year to verify the hypotheses using structural equation modeling and multiple-group analysis. Results declare that failure attribution (locus, stability, and controllability) and recovery justice (distributive, procedural, and interactional justice) are significantly related to recovery satisfaction and subsequent brand evangelism. Moreover, failure attribution (locus, stability, and controllability) correlates significantly with recovery justice (distributive, procedural, and interactional justice). In addition, emotional attachment plays a moderating role on the relationships between distributive and procedural justice on recovery satisfaction. This work contributes to brand evangelism research by giving a different perspective (i.e., service recovery) to comprehend what stimulate or deter brand evangelism. In addition, this work develops service recovery research through the combination of the third dimension of attribution (locus) and fourth dimension of justice (informational justice) into a framework, investigating the effect of failure attribution on recovery justice, and revealing the moderating effect of emotional attachment in the recovery process.
