Assessment of the Quality of Information of YouTube Videos Regarding Cervical Disc Replacement.
Article in International journal of spine surgery, 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
backgroundPatients have been shown to use YouTube as a source of information regarding medical procedures. There is currently limited information regarding the quality and educational content of information regarding cervical disc replacement (CDR). The purpose of this study was to determine the quality and educational content of YouTube videos on CDR using a procedure-specific scoring system.
methodsA search was performed on YouTube using the phrase "cervical disc replacement." The first 50 videos were included in this study. Video data were collected, including the title, duration, provider type, number of views, days since upload, number of comments, and the number of likes and dislikes. The videos were also assessed using the
resultsThe average number of views was 73785.2. The average video duration was 5.9 minutes. Overall, video quality and educational content were low. The largest proportion of videos was classified as "surgeon professional" at 32%. The average CDRSS was 4.7. None of the quality measure scores recorded correlated with video variables.
conclusionVideos concerning CDR were available for review on YouTube. The educational quality and reliability of these videos were low. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: We suggest that other sources of information be utilized by patients and surgeons as an adjunct for education and informed consent regarding CDR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 6.
