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 study employed the resource-based view theory to investigate the relationships between technological innovation, knowledge management, and sustainable competitive advantage in the hospitality sector, focusing explicitly on hotels in the Yaounde and Douala regions of Cameroon. Cluster sampling was employed to identify 370 respondents from of 35 hotels. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was utilized to analyze the data. The study found that technological innovation had a positive and significant influence on sustainable competitive advantage and knowledge management. It was observed that knowledge management had a positive and significant influence on sustainable competitive advantage. The investigation discovered that knowledge management partially mediates the relationship between technological innovation and sustainable competitive advantage. Cameroonian hotels can improve their competitive advantage by innovating technology and promoting efficient knowledge management techniques. Adopting cutting-edge technologies and fostering a culture of knowledge exchange can result in increased operational efficiency, enhanced service delivery, and differentiation from rivals, ultimately bolstering long-term competitiveness in the hospitality sector.
