Decisions about risk taking: Elaborate dynamics between guests and hosts of peer-to-peer accommodation during COVID-19.
Article in PloS one, 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
This study explores the influence of COVID-19 on peer-to-peer accommodation, from perspectives of both market performance and guests' mindset. Combination of qualitative and quantitative data, as well as analysis by smaller time unit, enables more subtle insights into participants' behavior. Based on Event System Theory, authentic market data is examined to demonstrate the trend of demand and supply of Airbnb housing in New York City. Online reviews are investigated, using Structural Topic Model, to reveal how guests' focuses transformed. Results show that peer-to-peer accommodation was stricken heavily by COVID-19 and subsequent events, where booking volume shrank more severely, and reacted faster to exogenous environment, compared to housing supply. Guests shifted their attention after COVID-19 happened, caring more about hygiene and social distance. The synchronization of fluctuation among multiple variables validates the assumption that exogenous events successively influenced guests' attitude and market performance. Apropos of events, stronger incidents exhibited larger influence on market performance, and event timing affected exogenous events' influence upon the industry. This research enriches Event System Theory and adds to the insights into elaborate dynamics among participants of peer-to-peer accommodation industry during COVID-19. The findings provide hospitality practitioners and governments with reference for future risk management.
