Quality assessment of public education short videos on robot-assisted cholecystectomy and analysis of audience preferences.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 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
Robot-assisted cholecystectomy (RAC) is widely implemented, but the quality of related public-facing information on short-video platforms remains largely unexamined. To systematically evaluate and compare the quality and reliability of RAC-related videos on Douyin and Bilibili, and to assess the influence of uploader background and audience engagement. We collected the top 100 videos from each platform Douyin using the keyword "Robot-assisted cholecystectomy". After applying exclusion criteria, 66 videos (49 from Douyin, 17 from Bilibili) were assessed using the Global Quality Score (GQS) and the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) instrument. Videos were independently categorized by uploader source and content type. Bilibili hosted significantly longer videos than Douyin(median 452.0 vs. 76.3 s) and demonstrated a significantly higher mean GQS (3.41 vs. 2.61, P = 0.022). Professional individuals and instructional content consistently provided the highest GQS and mDISCERN scores, whereas non-professional institutions and promotional content performed the poorest. Notably, video duration and active engagement metrics, specifically comments and saves, were significantly and positively correlated with both GQS and mDISCERN scores (all P < 0.05). The quality of RAC information on short-video platforms is highly variable. While Douyin was associated with higher baseline audience engagement, Bilibili was associated with superior quality ratings and longer-form medical education. Increased engagement from authoritative medical professionals utilizing longer video formats is necessary to optimize the accurate dissemination of complex surgical data and combat low-quality promotional content.
