Evaluation of the Quality of Educational YouTube Videos on Endoscopic Choanal Atresia.
Article in Journal of rhinology : official journal of the Korean Rhinologic Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesYouTube has become a widely used educational platform for medical trainees in endoscopic surgery. However, the quality of surgical videos on this platform remains unregulated. This study evaluates the educational quality of YouTube videos on endoscopic choanal atresia repair using a validated assessment tool.
methodsIn this descriptive cross-sectional study, 50 YouTube videos on endoscopic choanal atresia surgery were analyzed. Video quality was assessed using the LAParoscopic surgery Video Educational GuidelineS (LAP-VEGaS) checklist, which evaluates content structure, procedural clarity, and outcomes reporting.
resultsAmong 108 initially identified videos, 50 met the inclusion criteria. Video quality scores ranged from 1 to 16, with a median score of 7. The most frequently included elements were step-by-step approach (96%), patient anonymity (96%), and descriptive title (76%). Procedural clarity received moderate scores overall, with only the "step-by-step approach" achieving consistent quality. Outcomes reporting was notably deficient, with 90% of videos failing to address postoperative morbidity or complications.
conclusionMost YouTube videos on endoscopic choanal atresia surgery lack the quality required for effective surgical education. As digital platforms increasingly supplement traditional training, academic institutions and specialists should prioritize creating and sharing high-quality, standardized educational content on public platforms like YouTube.
