Evaluation of the quality, accuracy, and reliability of YouTube™ videos on laminate veneer treatment in Turkish.

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
aimYouTube™, a social media platform with a wide range of video content, is widely used in the information acquisition process. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of information on YouTube™ regarding laminate veneer treatment in dentistry. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, videos on the social media platform YouTube™ ( https://www.youtube.com ) were evaluated. The term used for the search was ''laminate veneer''. Specialised tools and scoring criteria are required to objectively assess the quality, accuracy and reliability of videos. DISCERN, the Modified Global Quality Index (mGQS) scale, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and the HONcode guidelines are frequently used to assess the quality of videos. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 20.0 software (IBM SPSS Statistics, v20; IBM Corp) at a 95% confidence level. The normality of the DISCERN, JAMA and mGQS measurements was examined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to examine whether the measurements showed significant differences according to source and content groups. The relationships between variables were examined using correlation analysis.
resultsA total of 109 YouTube™ videos on laminate veneer treatment in dentistry were evaluated for their content, quality, accuracy and reliability. The average length of the videos was 2.59 min. The average number of likes was 44.0 and the average number of comments on the videos was 6.8. It was determined that the content of laminate veneer treatment is focused on informative videos. For DISCERN, the mean of the informative content group was higher than the other groups. For JAMA, the mean of the informative group was higher than the advertisement and case presentation group, the mean of the educational group was higher than the advertisement group and for mGQS, the mean of the informative and educational group was higher than the advertisement and case presentation group (p < 0.05). The DISCERN measure revealed a positive correlation with JAMA at a level of 79.4%, the mGQS measure showed a positive correlation with DISCERN at a level of 89.4% and with JAMA, at a level of 83.3%.
conclusionIn this study in which YouTubeTM videos about laminate veneer treatment were analysed, it was discovered that the accuracy and reliability level of the videos are moderate. Patients wishing to acquire information regarding the treatment are indeed able to do so reliably by watching these videos. Moreover, the number of quality videos for educational purposes should be increased for dental students.
