Inferring the timing of individual mobility decisions from accommodation reservation data during the COVID-19 outbreak.

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
Understanding the changes in human mobility in response to outbreaks is important for controlling emerging infectious disease outbreaks. This requires an understanding of the mechanism of human behavioural response as well as the timing of decisions for future mobility. However, most human mobility data only record the executed mobility that results from decision-making, and not the timing of decisions. In this study, we used accommodation reservation data to extract the decision-making process in response to the changing epidemic situation and compared it with data on executed mobility, 'stay time' in workplaces and stay time in places other than home or workplaces to clarify when people decide on their mobility. We confirmed that the decision-making process estimated from accommodation reservation data can accurately predict human mobility. The decision-making process estimated from accommodation reservation data was more strongly associated with stay time in places other than home or workplaces than stay time in workplaces. Furthermore, the comparison between the estimated decision-making process and mobility data quantitatively revealed that mobility was the result of integrating two types of decisions made in recent weeks (within two and five weeks for mobility to workplaces and places other than home or workplaces, respectively) and previous weeks.
