Exploring the varying effects of chatbot service quality dimensions on customer intentions to switch service agents.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study aims to explore how the different dimensions of chatbot service quality influence customers' service-switching intentions when shopping online. The dimensions of chatbot service quality are identified through a critical review of the relevant literature. Subsequently, a structural equation model is applied to test the hypotheses utilizing 575 valid responses. This study reveals that synchronicity and perceived humanness do not have a significant direct impact on customers' willingness to switch from human services to chatbot services but ability to understand and problem resolution do. Moreover, perceived shopping enjoyment fully mediates the impact of synchronicity and perceived humanness, and partially mediates the impact of ability to understand and problem resolution on customers' intentions to choose chatbot services. Additionally, active control moderates the impact of ability to understand on willingness to switch. These findings empirically validate that the four dimensions of chatbot service quality are applicable to the context of the retail e-commerce industry and service quality research should consider specific industry contexts in which the services are delivered.
