1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeIt is aimed to determine the utility, reliability and quality of the lid loading videos on YouTube, a video sharing platform.

methodsA YouTube searches were made with the keywords 'Eyelid Loading,' 'Gold Weight Implantation,' 'Lid Loading for Lagophthalmos' (without user login, cleared search history, in incognito tab). A total of 75 videos were recorded. Length of videos (seconds), number of views, uploaded source (doctor/health institution/medical channel), number of subscribers, number of likes, time since uploading (days), video content (surgical/theoretical information), type of narration (verbal narration/subtitle) were recorded. DISCERN, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and Global Quality Scores of the videos were evaluated and recorded by two experienced oculoplastic surgeons (KSC, HT).

resultsAfter the exclusion criteria, the remaining 46 videos were included in the study. The mean DISCERN score was 25.17 ± 6.88 (very poor quality), the JAMA score was 0.79 ± 0.63 (very poor quality), and GQS was 2.84 ± 1.03 (medium quality). Thirty videos (65.2%) had verbal narration, and 16 videos (34.8%) had subtitled narration. The DISCERN score and GQS were significantly higher in the videos with verbal narration compared to the narration with subtitles (p < 0.05). All three scores were positively correlated with each other. There was also a positive correlation between video length, number of subscribers, and DISCERN score.

conclusionsThe videos about lid loading on YouTube are of poor reliability, accuracy, and educational quality. The duration of the video and the type of narration can be kept in the foreground when choosing the video. Experts must review the content that is uploaded to websites like YouTube.
