Quality and reliability of neonatal jaundice short videos on TikTok and Bilibili.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundThis study evaluates the content, quality, and reliability of TikTok and Bilibili videos on neonatal jaundice, and examines how accurately they inform parents and healthcare professionals.
methodsOn November 1, 2025, we searched TikTok and Bilibili for the top 100 videos using the terms “neonatal jaundice/新生儿黄疸,” yielding 200 videos in total (100 per platform). Two independent reviewers evaluated each video with the Global Quality Scale (GQS) and modified DISCERN (mDISCERN), independently rating scope, reliability, and overall quality. Disagreements were resolved by discussion with a third arbitrator.
resultsThere was no significant difference in GQS or mDISCERN between TikTok and Bilibili videos (both p > 0.05). Median scores indicated high quality and high reliability on both platforms (GQS median = 5; mDISCERN median = 5). Videos uploaded by pediatricians were significantly more reliable and of higher quality than those uploaded by family/patients (p < 0.001), and videos focused on disease knowledge or disease knowledge/treatment care outperformed experience sharing and other content types (p < 0.01). Platform engagement was higher on TikTok (likes/comments/saves/shares, all p < 0.05), but engagement did not correlate with quality (all p > 0.05).
conclusionFor neonatal jaundice videos, overall information quality was high on both TikTok and Bilibili, with no platform-level difference in GQS or mDISCERN. Higher quality and reliability were consistently associated with content created by pediatricians and with disease knowledge/treatment care topics, whereas popularity metrics did not predict quality. Platforms should strengthen medical content review and verification, and creators—especially healthcare professionals—should prioritize evidence-based, structured education to better serve parents and caregivers.
