Evaluating the quality and reliability of radiation dermatitis related videos on Douyin and Bilibili: a cross-sectional analysis.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Radiation dermatitis (RD), a common adverse reaction to radiotherapy (RT), is widely discussed on video-sharing platforms. However, user-generated content about RD lacks systematic scientific validation. This study evaluates the reliability and quality of RD-related videos on two major social media platforms: Douyin and Bilibili. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on Douyin and Bilibili, using keywords including "radiation dermatitis ()," "radiotherapy-induced dermatitis ()," "radiation skin injury ()," and "radiation dermatitis care ()". A total of 190 eligible short videos were included for analysis. We collected data on video characteristics, including title, uploader identity, upload date, video duration, content type, engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares, saves), presentation format, and 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) by two independent reviewers. Results: The analysis revealed that Douyin videos were significantly shorter in duration than those on Bilibili ( Conclusions: Social media platforms support the dissemination of RD-related health information to some extent, but the overall quality of videos remains suboptimal. We recommend that professional healthcare providers obtain official platform certification to promote the spread of high-quality RD-related content.
