The integration of artificial intelligence with social Media: opportunities, challenges, and pathways for resource optimization and doctor-patient relationship enhancement in healthcare.
Article in Frontiers in digital health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The integration of social media platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the patient's role from that of a passive recipient to an active participant in healthcare navigation. The advent of short video platforms (such as TikTok and YouTube Shorts) has eliminated many conventional limitations related to location and time in medical education. Recent research suggests that sophisticated AI models (e.g., GPT-4) might outperform physicians in specific measurable aspects, such as diagnostic accuracy in controlled settings or empathy demonstrated through written communication. Nevertheless, physicians continue to be essential for coordinating complex care, resolving intricate ethical dilemmas, and maintaining the integrity of the physician-patient relationship. Consequently, although human participation remains essential, the digital environment is affected by integrity concerns. It is estimated that approximately 37% of medical social media posts contain misinformation, although this rate varies considerably among different health categories. To effectively resolve these challenges, we advocate for a collaborative stakeholder approach to governance. Through the implementation of formal platform certification, ongoing education for healthcare professionals, and AI-enabled filtering of user-generated content, we can improve the efficiency of medical resource allocations such as minimizing unnecessary inquiries-while laying a solid foundation for a sustainable, trust-based relationship between physicians and patients.
