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: Clavicle fractures are common injuries, and patients frequently seek supplemental information online. YouTube is widely used for health-related content, but the quality and completeness of information related to clavicle fractures are not well defined. This study evaluated the reliability, comprehensibility, and educational completeness of clavicle fracture videos on YouTube. Methods: A systematic search of YouTube was performed using 4 clavicle fracture-related terms. After screening for eligibility, the 50 most-viewed English-language videos were analyzed. Videos were categorized by source and content type. Reliability was assessed using the Results: The median CFR score was 3 (Q1 = 1, Q3 = 6). The mean JAMA score was 1.4 and the mean comprehensibility score was 3.46. Physician-generated videos demonstrated significantly higher JAMA scores than patient-generated videos ( Conclusion: YouTube videos related to clavicle fractures demonstrated low reliability and limited educational completeness, despite generally favorable comprehensibility. These findings suggest that commonly viewed online resources provide insufficient information for patient education.
