How metaverse music platform cues shape content creation behavior: Evidence from social and flow pathways.
Article in PloS one, 2026. 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 examines how metaverse music platform design influences users' content creation behavior. Drawing on the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework, it develops a dual-path model in which relational-affective cues shape social experience, whereas interaction-oriented cues shape flow experience. Both experiential states are proposed to enhance emotional value perception, which in turn predicts content creation behavior, with technology acceptance examined as a boundary condition. Results from a survey of 435 Chinese users of metaverse music platforms show that emotional resonance and social presence positively predict social experience, whereas aesthetic novelty does not. Avatar customization, narrativity, and multi-sensory positively predict flow experience. Social experience and flow experience both strengthen emotional value perception, which subsequently increases content creation behavior. Technology acceptance strengthens only the social experience route. The study contributes by extending SOR research to metaverse music platforms, clarifying that music-related posting and sharing is shaped through distinct social and flow-based pathways, and showing that technology-related beliefs function as a selective boundary condition rather than a uniform amplifier across the model.
