YouTube Educational Videos for Peripheral Block Learning and Application: A Survey of Turkish Anesthesiologists; How Successful.
Article in The Eurasian journal of medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe aims of this survey study were to evaluate the contribution of YouTube to nerve-block learning/education and the advantages and disadvantages of the YouTube. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 24 questions were selected for the survey by consensus of the authors. Information in the form of web data was obtained through an electronic data form that was distributed via WhatsApp to known email addresses and phone numbers of 300 practitioners (anesthesia residents, anesthesiologists, and academicians). There were a total of 24 questions on the survey. The first section included 5 questions collecting demographic data, and the second part encompassed 19 questions about the YouTube nerve block videos.
resultsAmong the participants, 232 of practitioners (86.9%) performed peripheral nerve blocks, and only 35 practitioners (13.1%) had no experience of nerve blocks so and used YouTube videos for educational purposes. According to our results, YouTube videos frequently improved performance. In addition, YouTube improved the training of practitioners in terms of the type of block procedure, identifying anatomical landmarks, target structures like nerves and blood vessels, needle visualization, needle depth, and patient position.
conclusionYouTube contributes to the performance of regional anesthesia and to learning at all academic levels. It should not be forgotten that such videos are not peer reviewed by professionals in the relevant field.
