Exploring the antecedents of tourist satisfaction: A big data analysis of ice and snow tourism destinations.
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 tourist satisfaction in winter destinations using a big-data approach that integrates Latent Dirichlet Allocation, sentiment analysis, and Vector Autoregression. Drawing on over 32,000 online reviews from China's ice and snow tourism sites, the research identifies key concerns-such as infrastructure, service quality, and pricing-and reveals strong seasonal and emotional variability. A central finding is the asymmetrical impact of emotion: negative sentiments, especially regarding perceived price unfairness, have a greater influence on satisfaction than positive emotions. The study contributes theoretically by demonstrating the dominance of emotional drivers in satisfaction formation and introducing a scalable, dynamic framework for modeling affective-cognitive interactions over time. These insights highlight the value of emotion-sensitive management strategies in cold-region tourism and offer a methodological foundation for future behavioral research in dynamic tourism contexts.
