Quality assessment of spinal cord injury-related health information on short-form video platforms: Cross-sectional content analysis of TikTok, Kwai, and BiliBili.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely affects patients' quality of life. With the rise of short video platforms, they have become important sources of health information, yet few studies have assessed the quality of SCI-related content on these platforms. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the content and quality of SCI-related videos on three major short video platforms. Material and Methods: This study collected SCI-related short videos published between 28 March and 10 April 2025 on three platforms: BiliBili, Kwai, and TikTok. After strict screening (removing advertisements, duplicates, and irrelevant content), 251 valid samples were finally included. To minimize the influence of platform recommendation algorithms, the study used newly registered accounts to conduct standardized searches with "spinal cord injury" as the uniform search term. Video quality was assessed using four methods: Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), global quality scale (GQS), modified DISCERN, and patient education materials assessment tool. Two staff members (Z-SH and Z-GF) independently scored all videos. When their ratings differed by more than 15%, an expert (TY) made the final decision. Results: A total of 251 SCI-related videos were analyzed across BiliBili ( Conclusion: This cross-platform comparative study reveals significant disparities in content quality among SCI-related videos on three leading short video platforms. Despite diverse video formats, the overall quality and reliability remain suboptimal.
