Low educational quality and trustworthiness of YouTube videos by physiotherapists on shoulder joint mobilization techniques: a descriptive study.
Article in The Journal of manual & manipulative therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionPhysiotherapists and students may be vulnerable to false information and may learn faulty treatment techniques due to inadequate educational quality and uncertainty about sources and trustworthiness of YouTube videos.
objectiveTo investigate educational quality, trustworthiness, and content completeness of joint mobilization techniques demonstrating videos available on YouTube.
designThis is a descriptive study.
methodsWe performed a YouTube search on 1
resultsFifteen videos were included in the study. The median number of views for videos was 1263 (IQR 578-1478), and the median duration was 140 seconds (IQR 71-301 seconds). Most videos had low content quality (87%), poor joint mobilization content completeness (80%), and limited trustworthiness. All videos had low source quality (100%).
conclusionsThere is a lack of quality information on shoulder joint mobilization techniques on YouTube, which makes it a limited educational tool for physiotherapists and students.
