Social media integration in medical training: behavioral impact of short-form video creation as an active learning tool.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Introduction: The rapid advancement of technology has transformed student behavior, increasing the demand for active learning strategies that integrate digital tools into medical education. Short-form video platforms such as TikTok offer an attractive format to enhance motivation and engagement among digital-native students. This study aimed to analyze the use of student-created videos in Radiation Oncology, evaluating their characteristics and, above all, students' perceptions regarding their usefulness and their impact on competencies relevant to clinical practice. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 166 medical students at the University of Malaga. Of these, 148 (89.2%) voluntarily created short educational videos on course content. Student perceptions were measured through a validated 17-item questionnaire. Data were examined through a mixed-methods approach integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses. Results: A total of 24 videos were produced. Nineteen videos (79.2%) were uploaded to TikTok. The questionnaire was completed by 144 students (97.3%): 91% expressed enthusiasm for innovative methodologies, 86% reported improved content assimilation, and 87% highlighted enhanced memory retention. Correlational analysis showed positive associations between interest in innovative methods and perceived research skills, memory retention, and satisfaction. Preference for traditional methods correlated negatively with memory retention and innovation interest. Teamwork (57%) and creativity were the most valued benefits; while editing and organizational demands posed the main challenges. Conclusion: Student-created short videos, particularly via TikTok, were well received and perceived as motivating, engaging, and supportive of key professional skills. This approach represents a promising complement to traditional medical education, although further controlled studies are required to confirm objective competency gains.
