Study of travellers' preferences towards travel offer categories and incentives in the journey planning context.
Article in PloS one, 2023. 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
Nowadays, efforts to encourage changes in travel behaviour towards eco-friendly and active modes of transport are intensifying. A promising solution is to increase the use of sustainable public transport modes. Currently, a significant challenge related to this solution is the implementation of journey planners that will inform travellers about available travel solutions and facilitate decision-making by using personalisation techniques. This paper provides some valuable hints to journey planner developers on how to define and prioritise the travel offer categories and incentives to meet the travellers' expectations. The analysed data were obtained from a survey conducted in several European countries as part of the H2020 RIDE2RAIL project. The results confirm that travellers prefer to minimise travel time and stay on time. Also, incentives such as price discounts or class upgrades may play a crucial role in influencing the choices among travel solutions. By applying the regression analysis, it was found that preferences of travel offer categories and incentives are correlated with some demographic or travel-related factors. The results also show that subsets of significant factors strongly differ for particular travel offer categories and incentives, what underlines the importance of personalised recommendations in journey planners.
