Assessment and analysis of content and quality of children's influenza vaccine information on BiliBili, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu.
Article in Frontiers in digital health, 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
Background: Each year, influenza vaccines play a vital role in preventing millions of illnesses and reducing flu-related healthcare visits. Short video platforms (including Douyin, BiliBili, and Xiaohongshu) are powerful vehicles for information sharing and are saturated with videos about children's influenza vaccines. Nevertheless, the quality of these videos remains undetermined. Purpose and objectives: This study aims to assess the quality and reliability of videos addressing children's influenza vaccines on three short video platforms: Douyin, BiliBili, and Xiaohongshu. Methods: Using a cross-sectional survey design, this study examined three short video platforms (all mainland China versions). In February 2025, the research team searched Douyin, BiliBili, and Xiaohongshu for the keyword "children's influenza vaccine," selecting 300 videos (100 per platform) for analysis. We extracted basic video information, coded the content, and identified each video's source. Two independent reviewers then evaluated video quality using the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmarks, the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) criteria, and the Global Quality Score (GQS). Results: A detailed analysis of 300 videos revealed that on Douyin and Xiaohongshu, most videos were created by professionals and lay users, whereas on BiliBili, most were uploaded by non-profit organizations. Douyin stood out in user engagement, as its videos received significantly higher numbers of likes, comments, favorites, and shares than those on BiliBili and Xiaohongshu ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that Douyin, BiliBili, and Xiaohongshu offer moderately rated scientific content regarding children's influenza vaccines. Viewers should exercise caution when watching related videos on these platforms. Moving forward, both the platforms and content creators must strive to improve video quality and reliability to boost vaccination rates. These efforts have important implications for clinical practice, offering new perspectives for health education interventions and better promoting public awareness of vaccination's significance-ultimately contributing positively to public health.
