Analyzing Turkish-Language HPV Vaccination Videos on YouTube: Assessing Content Quality and Educational Value.
Article in Infectious diseases & clinical microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major public health concern, contributing to HPV-related cancers. Although effective vaccines are available, misinformation on social media complicates public health efforts. This study aimed to evaluate the quality, educational value, understandability, actionability, transparency, reliability, and popularity of Turkish-language YouTube videos on HPV vaccination. Materials and Methods: A YouTube search was conducted using the Turkish keywords Results: The median video duration was 95 seconds (interquartile range [IQR], 105 seconds). The median JAMA score was 2 (IQR, 1), indicating low transparency and reliability. The median GQS score was 3 (IQR, 2), indicating moderate quality. PEMAT scores had a median of 66% (IQR, 25). The median VIQI and VPI were 15 (IQR, 4) and 144 (IQR, 1274), respectively. No significant differences were found in quality metrics between more and less popular videos. Most videos (98.75%) were produced by health-care providers (HCPs), predominantly gynecologists (86.4%), with no representation from family physicians. Conclusion: Although predominantly produced by HCPs, Turkish-language YouTube videos on HPV vaccination demonstrated only moderate quality and limited capacity to promote vaccination. Greater involvement of family physicians, key providers of preventive healthcare, may enhance the public health impact of online HPV vaccination content.
