A cross-sectional study on the quality of pediatric autism-related videos on short video platforms.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study evaluated the information quality, content characteristics, and distribution patterns of short videos concerning pediatric autism on three major Chinese platforms: TikTok, Bilibili, and Rednote. Employing a cross-sectional design, we retrieved videos using the keyword ''pediatric autism'' and analyzed 279 eligible entries. We collected basic video characteristics and engagement metrics, while video quality and reliability were assessed using the Global Quality Scale (GQS), the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) instrument, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria, and the Video Information and Quality Index (VIQI). Overall video quality was moderate, with a median GQS score of 3, but information reliability was poor, indicated by a median JAMA score of 1. Significant inter-platform differences emerged (p < 0.05): Bilibili videos were the longest, TikTok had the highest proportion of uploaders who were healthcare professionals (69.89%) and exhibited greater user engagement, whereas Rednote was dominated by individual users and contained a higher proportion of low-quality videos. Information on treatment costs was notably insufficient across all platforms. In conclusion, the quality of pediatric autism-related health information on short-video platforms varies substantially by platform, revealing a mismatch between available information and user needs. Enhancing professional content review mechanisms and encouraging greater participation by healthcare professionals could improve the dissemination of practical and reliable health information.
