Leveraging Large Language Models to Identify Engagement-Driving Features in Vaping-Related TikTok Videos: Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of medical Internet research, 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
Background: Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use is prevalent in youth and young adults in the United States. TikTok (ByteDance), a popular social media platform among youth and young adults, has become a key avenue for disseminating e-cigarette-related videos, with promotional videos constituting the predominant form. Objective: This study aimed to identify key e-cigarette-related TikTok video features associated with high user engagement to assist with future video design for vaping prevention campaigns. Methods: We collected 1487 e-cigarette-related TikTok videos and related metadata posted between January 2023 and January 2024 using the TikTok API (application programming interface). We applied large language models GPT-4 and Video-LLaMA to extract video features (eg, promotion content, background, perceived sex, lifestyle, talking, cartoon, vaping tricks, and containing emojis) from e-cigarette-related TikTok videos. We randomly selected and hand-coded 25 videos to check the accuracy of 2 models in identifying these video features. We used a linear mixed effects model with random intercept to identify significant video features associated with high TikTok user engagement ([likes+shares+comments]/views). Results: Compared to the Video-LLaMA model, the GPT-4 model exhibited higher accuracy (83%-100% vs 24%-88%) in video feature identification. Notably, video backgrounds in cars (rate ratio [RR]=3.91, 95% CI 1.25-12.20; P=.009) demonstrated significantly higher user engagement than in public spaces. Moreover, videos featuring young adults (RR=1.24, 95% CI 1.00-1.53; P=.048), talking (RR=1.63, 95% CI 1.30-2.05; P<.001), containing emojis (RR=1.88, 95% CI 1.48-2.38; P<.001), or funny and silly content (RR=1.61, 95% CI 1.29-2.00; P<.001) exhibited heightened user engagement. Conversely, videos with promotional content (RR=0.40, 95% CI 0.45-0.81; P=.001) experienced lower engagement. Conclusions: TikTok video features like background settings, young adult presence, talking, and containing emojis and funny or silly content substantially enhance user engagement. These insights offer valuable guidance for designing compelling videos in vaping prevention campaigns to improve social media user engagement.
