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

Background: General surgery residents frequently access YouTube® for educational walkthroughs of surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to evaluate the educational quality of YouTube® video walkthroughs on Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) using a validated video assessment tool. Methods: A retrospective review of YouTube® videos was conducted for "laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass", "laparoscopic RYGB", and "laparoscopic gastric bypass." The top 100 videos from three YouTube® searches were gathered and duplicates were removed. Included videos were categorized as Physician (produced by individual physician), Academic (university/medical school), or Society (professional surgical society) and rated by three independent investigators using the LAParoscopic surgery Video Educational GuidelineS (LAP-VEGaS) video assessment tool (0-18). The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction and Spearman's correlation test. Results: Of 300 videos gathered, 31 unique videos met selection criteria and were analyzed. The average LAP-VEGaS score was 8.67 (SD 3.51). Society videos demonstrated a significantly higher mean LAP-VEGaS score than Physician videos ( Conclusions: LRYGB training videos on YouTube® generally do not adhere to the LAP-VEGaS guidelines and are of poor educational quality, signaling areas of improvement for educators.
