Co-creating value and building resilience: a digital era framework for competitive advantage in electronics retailing.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 investigates the synergistic relationships among supply chain resilience, value co-creation, and social media promotion in driving competitive advantage within electronics retail. Employing structural equation modeling on data from 240 retail stores across four product categories in Jiangsu Province, China, the research reveals that sustainable competitive advantage emerges from the dynamic integration of operational, relational, and digital capabilities rather than isolated competencies. The findings demonstrate that supply chain resilience serves as the primary driver of competitive advantage (β = 0.51), while exhibiting strong co-evolution with value co-creation (r = 0.78). Social media promotion functions as a strategic multiplier, amplifying value co-creation’s competitive impact fourfold at high engagement levels. Critically, multi-group analysis reveals product-contingent strategic pathways, with lifestyle products like coffee machines exhibiting a “digital-first” pattern where social media and customer engagement dominate (β = 0.45 each), fundamentally inverting traditional operations-focused retail logic. A novel Digital Synergy Framework incorporating non-linear interactions and product-specific parameters achieves superior predictive performance (R² = 0.938, 45.9% error reduction) compared to conventional models. These findings provide actionable insights for retailers navigating digital transformation while advancing theoretical understanding of capability synergies in contemporary retail ecosystems.
