Quality and impact of youtube for patient education on prostatic artery embolization.
Article in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo evaluate the quality of YouTube videos on patient education concerning prostatic artery embolization (PAE).
methodsAll PAE videos on YouTube were evaluated in December 2023. The quality of the videos was evaluated utilizing the DISCERN Scale Criterion. The popularity and engagement of each video was assessed using the Video Power Index (VPI) and Viewer Impact Score (VIS), respectively. Comparisons of these metrics were conducted and stratified by the video source type including academic institution, interventional radiologist, and patient testimony. Data describing discussion of risks, benefits, and indications were further collected.
resultsOf the 43 videos, video characteristics included duration (mean = 4.6 min), views (mean = 16,885), and likes (mean = 139). The mean DISCERN, VPI, and VIS scores were 47.9, 15.0, and 36.9, respectively. There was no correlation between quality, and popularity (R
conclusionEducational videos about PAE on YouTube are of average quality. Clinicians should be aware of the general state of online information concerning PAE and guide patients towards high quality resources.
