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 paper aims to explore the effect of User-Generated Content (UGC) on the purchasing behavior of environmentally friendly products at Hospitality and Food Service Industry in Vietnam, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City. A conceptual model has been developed based on literature reviews and empirical studies. Furthermore, the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method was employed to investigate the impact of UGC on the purchasing behavior of environmentally friendly products at Hospitality and Food Service Industry in Vietnam. The results confirm that environmental concerns, attitudes, and the intention to purchase green products are all positively and significantly influenced by UGC. Especially, the results validate that brand reputation plays a moderating role in the connections between UGC and environmental concern, UGC and environmental attitude, as well as the relationship between the intention to purchase environmentally friendly products and actual purchasing behavior.
