Characteristics and Popularity of Videos of Abusive Head Trauma Prevention: Systematic Appraisal.
Synthesis in Journal of medical Internet research, 2024. 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
backgroundNumerous strategies for preventing abusive head trauma (AHT) have been proposed, but controlled studies failed to demonstrate their effectiveness. Digital tools may improve the effectiveness of AHT prevention strategies by reaching a large proportion of the adult population.
objectiveThis study aimed to describe the characteristics of videos of AHT prevention published on the internet, including their quality content, and to study their association with popularity.
methodsFrom a systematic appraisal performed in June 2023, we identified videos addressing the primary prevention of AHT in children younger than 2 years that were published in English or French on the internet by public organizations or mainstream associations. We analyzed the characteristics of the videos; their quality with the Global Quality Scale (GQS); and their association with an index of popularity, the Video Power Index, using multivariable quasi-Poisson modeling.
resultsWe included 53 (6.6%) of the 804 videos identified. Videos were mainly published by public organizations (43/53, 81%). The median time spent on the web was 6 (IQR 3-9) years, the median length was 202 (IQR 94-333) seconds, and the median GQS score was 4 (IQR 3-4). Infants were often depicted (42/53, 79%), including while crying (35/53, 66%) and being shaken (21/53, 40%). The characterization of shaking as an abuse and its legal consequences were cited in 47% (25/53) and 4% (2/53) of videos, respectively. The main prevention strategies in the videos were to raise awareness of the noxious outcome of shaking (49/53, 93%) and convince viewers of the effectiveness of coping strategies for infants' cries (45/53, 85%). The Video Power Index was positively correlated with the GQS (r=0.38; P=.007) and was independently associated with depicting an infant being shaken (P=.03; β=1.74, 95% CI 1.06-2.85) and the use of text or headers (P=.04; β=2.15, 95% CI 1.08-4.26).
conclusionsAHT prevention videos had high quality but did not frequently deal with parental risk factors. The characteristics identified as being associated with the popularity of AHT prevention videos could help improve the impact of future prevention programs by enhancing their popularity.
