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

backgroundPancreatic cancer (PC) has become one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Social media platforms are widely used for health information dissemination because of their visual appeal and entertainment value. This study evaluates the content, quality, and reliability of PC-related information on domestic short video platforms.

methodsA total of 265 PC-related videos were retrieved from three short video-sharing platforms: TikTok, Bilibili, and Kwai. The Global Quality Scale (GQS) and the modified DISCERN score were employed to evaluate the quality and content of the videos, respectively. Correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationships between different video variables.

resultsThe overall quality of the video content was low, with median scores of 2 (IQR: 2-3) for both the GQS and the modified DISCERN score. Most of the videos related to PC were posted by healthcare professionals (219/265, 82.6%). Videos from specialists received more likes on short social video platforms than those from nonspecialists did (median: 678 vs. 270, P = 0.005). Educational videos scored highest in both the GQS (median: 3, IQR 2-3) and the modified DISCERN score (median: 2.5, IQR 2-3). There was a positive correlation between GQS and video duration (r = 0.31, P < 0.01) and the modified DISCERN score (r = 0.434, P < 0.001).

conclusionThe quality and reliability of the videos on these platforms were generally unsatisfactory in terms of source and content. Videos produced by healthcare professionals or institutions are more informative in terms of comprehensiveness, quality of information, and reliability than are those produced by non-healthcare professionals.
