Status of short videos as health information sources for chronic pancreatitis in China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundChronic pancreatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pancreatic tissue caused by genetic or environmental factors; it has a complex etiology and is difficult to diagnose and treat clinically, severely affecting the physical and mental health of patients. Currently, the treatment of chronic pancreatitis often relies on lifelong self-health management by patients. However, the quality of videos related to chronic pancreatitis on short video platforms remains to be determined, and these videos may contain erroneous information that patients cannot recognize. This study aims to assess the quality of information in short videos related to chronic pancreatitis on the Chinese platforms TikTok and Bilibili.
methodsBased on comprehensive rankings, the top 100 videos related to chronic pancreatitis on TikTok and Bilibili were searched, filtered, and evaluated by two independent gastroenterologists via the Global Quality Score and the improved DISCERN tool. The content of the videos was analyzed from six aspects: definition, symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
resultsA total of 112 videos related to chronic pancreatitis were collected, with the majority (80.36%) being from health professionals, including 20.55% from gastrointestinal health experts and 26.79% from pancreatic surgery specialists. The overall quality and reliability of the videos were relatively low, with DISCERN and GQS scores of 2 (IQR: 2-3) and 3 (IQR: 2-3), respectively. In comparison, videos from gastrointestinal health professionals were more comprehensive in covering chronic pancreatitis content and showed the highest reliability and quality, with DISCERN scores of 3 (IQR: 2-3) and GQS scores of 3 (IQR: 2-3).
conclusionOverall, the content and quality of video information related to chronic pancreatitis on the two short video platforms in China still require improvement. In the future, health professionals need to provide high-quality videos to promote effective self-disease management among patients with chronic pancreatitis.
