Cross-platform assessment of short-form video quality on the gut-liver axis: informational integrity and engagement disparity.
Article in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: The gut-liver axis has emerged as a pivotal focus in hepatology and metabolic disease research. However, the quality of public-facing health information, particularly in short-form video content, remains largely unexamined. Methods: Between January 2021 and October 2025, we systematically screened and analyzed 210 short videos (70 per platform) on the gut-liver axis. Basic metadata were extracted, and video quality was assessed using three validated tools: the modified DISCERN instrument, JAMA Benchmark Criteria, and Global Quality Score (GQS). Pearson correlation was used to explore associations between video metrics and quality scores. Results: Bilibili videos showed the highest educational quality (mean GQS: 3.79), while TikTok videos had greater engagement (median likes: 74.00). Videos uploaded by healthcare professionals scored significantly higher across all quality measures (SUM score: 9.03 Conclusion: A misalignment exists between user engagement and informational quality in gut-liver-related short videos. Content from verified health professionals delivers superior educational value yet remains algorithmically underprioritized. Efforts to enhance digital health communication should focus on promoting expert-led content, verifying source credentials, and integrating quality-weighted algorithms.
