Linking innovation with hospital performance: the mediating role of experiential healthcare marketing.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 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
Background: In the rapid evolution of the healthcare sector, innovation is recognized as an important factor in hospital performance; however, the mechanisms by which types of innovation translate into performance remain unexplored. Therefore, current study examines the effects of entrepreneurial, technological, and service innovation on hospital performance, with experiential healthcare marketing as a mediator and patient trust as a moderator. Methods: The data were collected from 340 patients at private hospitals using a self-administered questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was performed for path analysis using SmartPLS, and statistical measures were analyzed using SPSS (25.0). Results: The present study results revealed that technological innovation and entrepreneurial innovation increase hospital performance directly and through experiential healthcare marketing. Surprisingly, relationship between service innovation and experiential healthcare marketing is not significant, as service innovation is often process-oriented and focuses on the delivery system, whereas experiential marketing is intrinsically emotional and perception-based; therefore, it may fail to deliver meaningful experiential outcomes. Additionally, moderating effect of patient trust is also not significant, indicating that experiential marketing operates independently in current context. Discussion: This study underscores a critical gap in digital transformation by proposing an integrative model that explores how innovative drivers affect hospital performance through patient-centered mechanism. This study also examines mediating role of experiential marketing a under research variable in healthcare context.
