Assessment of the educational value of robotic‑assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy videos.

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
introductionRobotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is increasingly used in lung cancer treatment. As surgical education progressively shifts to online platforms, such as YouTube, concerns have emerged regarding the reliability of available content. This study evaluated the educational quality of the most-viewed RATS lobectomy videos on YouTube, using the Laparoscopic Surgery Video Educational Guidelines (LAP-VEGaS) and the Critical View of Safety (CVS) criteria.
aimWe aimed to evaluate the educational quality of widely viewed YouTube videos on RATS using the LAP-VEGaS assessment and CVS criteria tools. MATERIALS AND
methodsA YouTube search was performed using a key word "robotic lobectomy." A total of 25 videos with more than 5000 views that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated in terms of video characteristics and educational quality. The assessment was performed using the CVS and LAP-VEGaS criteria, and statistical analyses were conducted to explore correlations between video features and the scores.
resultsA total of 25 videos met the inclusion criteria. Right upper lobectomy was the most frequently demonstrated procedure. Median view count was 7157 (6001-14 152), with significant correlations between views and likes, as well as duration online. Overall educational quality was limited, with median CVS compliance of 50% (50%-62.5%) and a median LAP-VEGaS score of (4-10.5).
conclusionsThe educational quality of robotic-assisted lobectomy videos on YouTube is heterogeneous and generally suboptimal. Peer-reviewed and standardized video archives curated by academic institutions or professional societies are needed to ensure reliable resources for robotic surgery training.
