To Airbnb or not to Airbnb: Does Airbnb feel safer than hotels during a pandemic?
Article in International journal of hospitality management, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Airbnb was able to recover faster than hotels from the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research note examines whether Airbnb's success resulted from tourists feeling safer in Airbnbs due to their greater opportunities for social distancing. Nearly 9500 U.S. adults were surveyed between March 2020 and July 2021, and asked the degree to which they would be concerned about staying in a hotel or Airbnb, within the context of the pandemic. Very similar levels of concern were associated with both lodging types, even as this concern decreased as the pandemic unfolded. The similar levels of concern towards hotels and Airbnbs suggest that other factors better explain Airbnb's comparatively rapid recovery from the pandemic. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
