Reliability and Educational Value of YouTube Videos of Complete Meso-Colic Excision With Right Hemicolectomy in the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo investigate the reliability and educational value of YouTube videos of minimally invasive complete mesocolic excision with right hemicolectomy procedures. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe searched YouTube with the terms "Laparoscopic and Robotic Complete Mesocolic Excision with Right Hemicolectomy" on January 12, 2021. To assess the reliability of the videos, we evaluated nine steps in each video and scored the videos based on the key steps they contained. The videos were divided into three groups according to the source of the upload. The total number of views, length, time since upload, and the number of likes, dislikes, and comments were recorded for each video. Narration, the use of descriptive subtitles, and the upload status by an expert surgeon were also examined.
resultsSixty-eight videos were included in the study. A positive significant correlation was identified between the comprehensiveness score (CS) and the number of views (p=0.025). The CSs of the videos accessed from academic channels, as well as those accessed from journals, congress, and association channels, recorded higher CSs than those obtained from the personal channels of consultants (p=0.003). It was also found that CSs were higher in the videos of expert surgeons (p<0.001) and narrated videos (p<0.001).
conclusionNot all YouTube videos on this subject have reliability and educational value. Surgical videos on YouTube may be evaluated by a video review commission formed by academic institutions, surgical associations, or expert surgeons, and videos suitable for education could be brought together and published via a free channel.
