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.

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 the strategic diversification of luxury fashion brands into the hospitality and restaurant industry, with a particular focus on sustainability. The objective is to explore the motivations behind this cross-industry expansion, the strategies employed and the sustainable practices integrated into such ventures. A qualitative research design is applied, drawing on semi-structured interviews with stakeholders from leading luxury fashion companies. This approach allows for an in-depth understanding of how experiential branding, strategic decision-making and sustainability are embedded within hospitality initiatives. The findings reveal that luxury brands enter the hospitality sector to enrich the brand experience, strengthen customer engagement and foster innovation in sustainability. Sustainable practices are identified both in operational management and in customer-facing activities, though the extent of integration varied across cases. The results underscore the dynamic relationship between experiential branding and sustainability, highlighting opportunities for competitive differentiation as well as challenges in aligning brand identity with new industry practices. This research contributes to the growing literature on luxury brand management and diversification by demonstrating how sustainability influences experiential strategies in cross-industry contexts. The originality of this paper lies in its integrated view of luxury branding, diversification and sustainability, showing how fashion companies leverage hospitality ventures to reinforce brand value and connect with socially conscious consumers.
