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

This study delves into the intriguing dynamics between green semiotics and brand experiences, examining how elements like color, image, logo, and font not only shape brand experiences towards eco-friendly products but also influence green consumer behavior and thinking. Conducting a survey among 357 Thai consumers, this research uses Covariance-based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) to unearth the complex relationships between these semiotic elements and the multifaceted dimensions of brand experience-cognitive, sensory, emotional, and cultural. Surprisingly, the analysis revealed a predominantly negative impact of green semiotics on consumer perceptions, challenging the prevailing notion that eco-friendly branding consistently engenders positive reactions. Theoretically, this research sheds light on the potential pitfalls of green semiotics in branding, while practically, it offers critical insights for marketers on the cautious use of these elements to avoid consumer disillusionment and enhance sustainable consumer engagement, thereby contributing to a more nuanced understanding of how green brand experiences can be optimized to foster positive environmental behavior.
