Is YouTube an Accurate and/or Comprehensive Source of Information on Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis?
Article in Journal of clinical practice and research, 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
Objective: Monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MEN) is a common pediatric condition, and misleading or inaccurate information regarding its diagnosis and management is frequently encountered on social media platforms. Therefore, ensuring reliable and high-quality online health information is crucial. This study aimed to assess the accuracy, usefulness, and comprehensiveness of YouTube videos addressing MEN. Materials and Methods: Five predefined MEN-related keywords were searched on YouTube. Eligible videos were analyzed using the Global Quality Scale (GQS), DISCERN, and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) scoring systems in terms of diagnosis, management, and treatment. Videos were categorized as useful or non-useful according to content quality and were also grouped based on comprehensiveness scores. Comparative statistical analyses were performed between groups. Results: A total of 153 videos were included. Significant differences were observed between useful and non-useful videos in DISCERN, GQS, total JAMA scores, comprehensiveness scores, and upload source (p<0.001). Videos with higher comprehensiveness scores also differed significantly in DISCERN, GQS, total JAMA scores, upload source, and video duration (p<0.001). No significant differences were found in the video power index, presenter type, or engagement parameters, such as likes and dislikes (p>0.05). Although most videos (79%) were useful, fewer than one-third (28%) were comprehensive. Conclusion: YouTube provides partially useful information on MEN; however, its overall comprehensiveness remains insufficient. Collaboration with academic institutions and professional organizations may improve the quality and reliability of MEN-related information on social media platforms.
