Assessing the Quality of YouTube Videos Related to Perioperative Nutrition for Patients Undergoing Total Joint Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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: Optimal perioperative nutrition affects outcomes in total joint arthroplasty (TJA), with malnutrition linked to increased complications. While YouTube is a popular platform for patient education, the quality of videos on perioperative nutrition is unknown. This study evaluated the quality and educational value of videos using established and TJA-specific scoring systems. Methods: A systematic YouTube search with 11 arthroplasty and nutrition-related keywords was performed, excluding sponsored and non-English content. Two reviewers recorded view count, duration, upload age, health-system affiliation, and presenter credentials, then graded quality with Results: Of 98 videos identified, 43 met inclusion criteria. Mean view count was 34,751 (range, 2-470,475). Mean duration was 11.2 minutes (range, 0.5-51.4). Health system affiliation was present in 41.9% (18/43), and 32.6% (14/43) were authored by physicians. Quality scores were: Conclusions: YouTube videos on TJA perioperative nutrition were generally low to moderate quality, omitting key topics like individualized nutrition, increased caloric needs, and evidence-based supplementation. The novel JRNS demonstrated interrater reliability and highlighted content gaps across available videos. Nonphysician professionals produced some of the most informative videos. The lack of correlation between view count and quality emphasizes the need for higher-quality content to reach patients. Interdisciplinary collaboration is needed to develop comprehensive educational resources on perioperative nutrition for TJA.
