1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Wilson disease (WD), a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disorder of copper metabolism that requires lifelong management and patient education. Short video platforms have become major channels for health information dissemination in China, but the quality and reliability of content related to Wilson disease on these platforms have not been systematically evaluated. A cross-sectional study design was adopted, and a total of 153 short videos related to Wilson disease were collected from three platforms: Bilibili, Douyin, and Kuaishou. On January 18, 2026, information quality and reliability assessment was conducted over two days using three validated evaluation tools: GQS for quality assessment, and the mDISCERN and JAMA benchmarks for reliability assessment. Meanwhile, user interaction indicators and video characteristics were extracted. Chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Videos on Bilibili achieved the highest scores in all three evaluations: GQS (3.34 ± 1.34), mDISCERN (2.84 ± 1.31), and JAMA (2.34 ± 1.24), followed by Douyin and Kuaishou. Among video creators, science communicators had the highest video scores (GQS: 4.40 ± 0.55), rather than health professionals (GQS: 2.91 ± 1.08). Videos with comprehensive themes covering "etiology, symptoms, and treatment" had higher quality scores (GQS 3.45 ± 1.17) and user interaction indicators than those with single themes. There was no correlation between video quality and interaction indicators, but a certain correlation existed between video quality and video duration. There are significant differences in the quality of content related to Wilson disease across different short video platforms, with Bilibili providing the most reliable information. Uploads by health professionals and comprehensive theme content are associated with higher information quality. Measures should be formulated according to the characteristics of different platforms to promote credible health information on Wilson disease, so as to assist patient education.
