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

Orthognathic surgery is commonly used to correct dentofacial deformities for both functional and aesthetic reasons. As social media increasingly becomes a source of health information, concerns have arisen regarding the quality and reliability of such content. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the quality and reliability of orthognathic surgery-related videos on BiliBili and TikTok, and to identify factors influencing video quality. A search using the term "orthognathic surgery" was conducted on both platforms in February 2025. Videos were categorized by content and source, and assessed using the Global Quality Scale (GQS) and modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) tools. The results showed that videos on BiliBili had significantly higher quality and reliability than those on TikTok (P < 0.001), but the overall quality across both platforms was poor (mean GQS = 2.20; mDISCERN = 1.77). Videos created by medical professionals, particularly those focused on disease knowledge, were significantly more reliable (P < 0.05). Orthodontists' videos scored higher than those from orthognathic surgeons (P < 0.05). Positive correlations were observed between video quality and reliability, number of saves, shares, and duration. These findings highlight the need for better regulation of online medical content and encourage greater involvement of healthcare professionals in producing accurate, high-quality health information.
