YouTube provides insufficient information on patellofemoral instability.
Article in Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveVideos uploaded to YouTube do not go through a review process, and therefore, videos related to patellofemoral instability may have little educational value. The purpose of this study was to assess the educational quality of YouTube videos regarding patellofemoral instability.
methodsA standard search was performed on the YouTube database using the following terms: "unstable kneecap," "patellar instability," "patellofemoral instability," "kneecap dislocation," and "patellar dislocation," and the top 50 videos based on the "relevance" assignment of the YouTube algorithm were included for analysis. The properties, content, and source of each video were recorded. The educational quality of videos was analyzed according to scores obtained using DISCERN, the criteria of Journal of the American Medical Association, Global Quality Score, and Patellofemoral Instability Specific Score, and the quality of the videos was evaluated according to the groupings of these scoring systems.
resultsA total of 250 videos were identified, of which 89 were included in the study for analysis. The mean video duration was 11.72 ± 22.03 minutes. The median number of views was 4516.5 (range, 3-6 044 971). The content of the videos was disease-specific in 60%, 20% were related to surgical technique or approach, and 14.1% were exercise videos. Most of the videos were uploaded by physicians (33.7%). The Global Quality Score and DISCERN scores were significantly correlated with video duration. The Patellofemoral Instability Specific Score was significantly correlated with video duration, number of views, view rate, likes, and Video Power Index. According to the DISCERN classification, 69.9% of the videos were very insufficient or insufficient. According to the Patellofemoral Instability Specific Score, 65.2% of videos were evaluated as very low or low. According to the Global Quality Score, 60.7% of videos were rated as poor quality.
conclusionThe quality of YouTube videos about Patellofemoral instability is insufficient. It was found that viewers tend to watch short and low-quality videos.
