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

Background: Short videos that popularize health science have become essential for disseminating health information and enhancing public health literacy. However, previous research has primarily focused on health information content, with a significant gap in assessing the quality of health science popularization in short videos. Methods: This study developed a quality assessment scale for the popularization of health science short videos based on multimodal theory, utilizing literature analysis and the creation of custom measurement items. Data were collected from scales completed by 796 residents through online surveys conducted on mobile devices. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were employed to evaluate the quality of mobile health science popularized short videos. Results: The results revealed that the quality scale for health science popularization in short videos could be divided into seven dimensions and 22 indicators, each a significant determinant of video quality. Conclusion: This research provides a more intuitive, reliable, and standardized tool for assessing the quality of health science popularization in short videos. Also, it offers essential guidance for the future design, development, and promotion of short health science popularization videos.
