ArticleData in brief2025
Russian military bloggers: Corpus and dataset of collected posts, 2022-2023.
Article in Data in brief, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The ongoing war in Ukraine has generated unprecedented volumes of digital data across multiple domains, from weapons effectiveness and battlefield casualties to military communications and economic impacts. This digitalization of warfare has created new opportunities for computational social science research, paralleling the broader trend of increasing digital traces in human activities. Our study focuses on the communications and subsequent reactions within Russian military bloggers' (``milbloggers'') Telegram channels, specifically examining their war-related content in the original Russian langiage. These communications have emerged as a crucial component of the Russian information sphere, potentially influencing war policy and political decision-making. Telegram's perceived security features, including robust encryption and privacy protocols, have made it a preferred platform for such discourse. The Russian leadership has strategically utilized milbloggers' posts and their audience reactions as both a barometer of public sentiment and a tool for shaping public opinion regarding the conflict's developments. While quantifying the effectiveness of these influence operations remains challenging due to data limitations, our analysis concentrates on the observable ``input'' - the milbloggers' posts and their associated reactions. This dataset provides valuable insights into the ongoing conflict and serves as a foundation for modeling public opinion dynamics and sentiment evolution in digital warfare contexts.
