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
In the rapidly transforming logistics sector of Saudi Arabia the integration of marketing and supply chain functions is becoming ever more essential to deliver outstanding customer experiences. Though there has been ample theoretical debate, empirical proof of such integration in startup settings-especially in emerging economies-remains limited. This study explores the impact of five dimensions of integration-marketing strategies, supply chain competencies, digital integration, customer-oriented practices, and service performance-on customer experience in Saudi Arabia logistics tech startups. A survey of 384 customers of ten digital logistics platforms was conducted using a questionnaire. Through correlation and multiple regression analysis (using VIF for testing multicollinearity), the study confirms the strong positive effects of all five constructs, with the most dominant contribution of service performance (β = 0.276, p < 0.001). The model explains 53.5% variance in customer experience. Findings highlight the contribution of operational consistency and digital alignment to trust, satisfaction, and loyalty. The research fills a gap in the literature by presenting evidence from an underrepresented setting and offers insight in line with Vision 2030 agendas.
