Information on Recent Monkeypox Outbreak: Systematic Search and Content Analysis of YouTube Videos.
Article in Mayo Clinic proceedings. Digital health, 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
Objective: To examine the availability, characteristics, content, reliability, and quality of YouTube videos on the recent monkeypox outbreak. Methods: A systematic search was carried out on YouTube using the keywords "Monkeypox" on May 31, 2022. Video-related metrics were entered into the EpiCollect5 application simultaneously while watching the videos. A total of 599 videos were taken for final analysis. On the basis of content, the videos were categorized as useful, misleading, and news updates. Standardized tools were utilized to assess the content, quality, and reliability of the useful videos. Results: Videos attracted cumulative 16,825,261 views and 591,932 likes. A total of 272 (45.4%) videos were categorized as useful, 122 (20.4%) videos as misleading, and 205 (34.2%) videos as news reports, with a 0.96 kappa coefficient of agreement between the 2 accessors. Mass media contributed to approximately 69% of the total videos. The mean Global Quality Scale, medical information and content index, and modified DISCERN scores were 2.8±0.7, 2.2±0.8, and 3.07±0.7 respectively. Conclusion: The present study found that nearly half of the selected videos on recent monkeypox outbreaks contained useful information. Health care professionals and health-related organizations should be encouraged to disseminate scientifically correct information during public health emergencies. One-fifth of the videos contained misleading information, which may be due to a lack of quality assessment and peer review processes. Hence, strict caution and strategies for proper verification procedures should be exercised before uploading any health-related video on this platform.
