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

Background: Social media platforms have emerged as prominent channels for disseminating cardiovascular health information. However, the accuracy, completeness, and clinical reliability of cardiac rehabilitation (CR)-related content vary widely. Therefore, this study This study aims to identify upload sources, contents, and feature information of these videos on Bilibili and Douyin, and further evaluate the video quality. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on Bilibili and Douyin using the keywords "cardiac rehabilitation ()" and "postoperative coronary heart disease ()." A total of 200 videos were included. Data on video characteristics were collected, including title, uploader identity, upload time, video duration, content type, engagement metrics (likes, comments, and shares), presentation format, and video quality scores. Video quality and reliability were assessed using the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN), the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, and the Global Quality Scale (GQS). Results: Douyin videos were shorter in duration and more recently uploaded, and received significantly more likes and comments than Bilibili videos ( Conclusions: Our study shows that the quality of short videos on health information related to CR is poor on Bilibili and Douyin. However, videos uploaded by institutional and healthcare professional accounts demonstrate better performance in terms of information reliability and content quality. Therefore, CR information obtained from short-video platforms should be interpreted with caution, and viewers are advised to critically evaluate content credibility before using such information to guide health-related decisions.
