Global Engagement with an Educational Video on Vaginal Pessaries: A 9-Year Mixed-Methods Analysis of YouTube Analytics and User Comments.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 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
introduction and hypothesisPelvic organ prolapse (POP) remains underdiagnosed and undertreated worldwide, and pessaries are an effective yet underutilized conservative option. Digital platforms may play a key role in disseminating evidence-based guidance. This study analyzed long-term global engagement with an educational video on vaginal pessaries to understand patterns of access, audience characteristics, and informational needs.
methodsA mixed-methods design was used. Quantitative data were extracted from YouTube Analytics over a 9-year period (2017-2026), including views, watch time, audience demographics, traffic sources, devices, and geographic distribution. Qualitative content analysis was conducted on 107 valid user comments (43.1% of all registered comments) to identify informational demands, emotional responses, and perceived gaps in clinical counseling.
resultsThe video accumulated 69,802 views and 3652.7 h of watch time, with a mean audience retention of 32.54%. Viewers represented more than 40 countries, with notable engagement from East Asia. Adults aged 25-34, 45-54, and 55-64 years accounted for most views. Mobile devices accounted for over 80% of views; televisions showed the highest retention. Comments revealed unmet informational needs, prior suffering, and strong interest in practical pessary guidance.
conclusionsThis long-term analysis shows that this educational video on pessary use expanded access to information and addressed expressed gaps in clinical counseling, supporting viewers' engagement with POP conservative treatment options. Validated digital content may represent a scalable, durable complement to urogynecologic education.
