Narrative strategies in live-streaming commerce: host storytelling, immersion, and impulse buying.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Live-streaming hosts play a pivotal role in e-commerce, yet their narration strategies remain underexplored. This study develops a framework to examine how host narration strategies influence consumers' impulsive buying behavior. The exploratory phase involved textual analysis of host narration, which informed the conceptual model grounded in Narrative Transportation Theory. In the confirmatory phase, 398 user responses were examined using structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the path model and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to identify sufficient configurations of influencing factors. Results show that emotional persuasion, narrative presence, and immersion are consistently associated with impulsive buying, while interactive engagement, time pressure, and accuracy have context-specific effects. These findings emphasize the need to adapt live-streaming strategies flexibly to match consumer characteristics and situational contexts, offering actionable insights for enhancing consumer engagement and purchase behavior in live-streaming commerce.
