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: To evaluate the informational quality and user engagement of acne-related videos on Bilibili and TikTok, and examine associations with uploader characteristics, disease-related topics, presentation formats, and factors linked to high-quality content. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 272 videos (122 from Bilibili, 150 from TikTok) retrieved in May 2025. Video characteristics, uploader types, disease-related topics, and presentation formats were recorded. Quality was assessed using the Results: Bilibili videos were longer (median 409 s vs 51 s; Conclusions: Acne-related videos on Bilibili and TikTok were generally of suboptimal quality. Bilibili favored coherence and accuracy, while TikTok favored transparency and engagement. Quality assessments outperformed engagement metrics in identifying high-quality content. These findings highlight the need to improve credentialing and promote engaging, evidence-based formats to enhance the reliability and impact of dermatologic information on short-video platforms.
