Quality of cataract-related videos on TikTok and its influencing factors: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
Objective: Short videos are increasingly being used to disseminate health information. However, the quality of videos on common ophthalmic conditions such as cataract has not been systematically evaluated. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design. The TikTok platform was searched using the term "cataract" from 20:00 to 24:00 on 8 November 2024, without any restrictions. The top 100 retrieved videos were included in the study. They were rated using The Results: The top 100 videos had an average of 2009.1 likes, 795.65 comments, 2628.91 shares, and 554.08 saves. Their Conclusion: The quality of cataract-related short videos on platforms has room for improvement. Users may estimate video quality based on the identity of the content creator.
