Development and validation of a tool for evaluating YouTube-based medical videos.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimsToday, one of the ways to access medical information is the internet. Our objective was to develop a measurement tool to assess the quality of online medical videos.
methodsOnline videos covering a variety of subjects (COVID-19, low back pain, weight loss, hypertension, cancer, chest pain, vaccination, asthma, allergy, and cataracts) were evaluated using our Medical Quality Video Evaluation Tool (MQ-VET) by 25 medical and 25 non-medical professionals. Exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, and correlation coefficients were used to assess the validity and reliability of the MQ-VET.
resultsThe final MQ-VET consisted of 15 items and four sections. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient for the full MQ-VET was 0.72, and the internal consistency for all factors was good (between 0.73 and 0.81). The correlation between the DISCERN questionnaire scores and MQ-VET scores was significant.
conclusionCollectively, our findings indicated that the MQ-VET is a valid and reliable tool that will help to standardize future evaluations of online medical videos.
