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

Against the backdrop of green transformation as a strategic priority in the hotel industry, the employee-driven mechanisms of green service innovation (GSI) remain insufficiently understood. Existing studies largely rely on linear pathways and fail to capture the complex interactions among ability, motivation, and opportunity. Drawing on the ability-motivation-opportunity framework, this study integrates necessary condition analysis (NCA), fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), and artificial neural networks (ANN) to analyze two-wave survey data from frontline employees in Chinese upper-midscale hotels. The results reveal that no single factor constitutes a necessary condition for GSI. High-level GSI can be achieved through two sufficient pathways: "autonomy support and capability-driven pathway" and "organizational support and motivation-driven pathway". ANN sensitivity analysis further confirms the important role of green human resource management (GHRM). This study advances beyond linear perspectives by uncovering the asymmetric configurational mechanisms of GSI and offers practical implications for integrating systematic GHRM practices with employee autonomy to foster sustainable green innovation.
