Educational value assessment of YouTube surgical videos of bladder hydrodistention for surgeons.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 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: The increasing reliance on online surgical learning underscores the need to evaluate the quality and reliability of available educational resources. This study aimed to assess the quality and educational value of YouTube videos related to bladder hydrodistention. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed on 33 eligible bladder hydrodistention videos, which were searched on YouTube in December 2025. Videos were categorized according to upload source, content type, and region. Video quality, reliability, and educational value were assessed using validated instruments: the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score (0-4), Global Quality Scale (GQS) score (1-5), Modified Discriminant (M.DISCERN) score (0-5), and Laparoscopic Surgery Video Educational Guidelines (LAP-VEGaS, 0-18). Correlations between video characteristics and assessment scores were statistically analyzed. Results: Among all included videos, the majority were uploaded by urologists (48.5%). The content category "surgery + information" accounted for the lowest proportion (18.2%), but demonstrated the highest reliability, quality, and educational value (JAMA: 3 Conclusions: Despite the large number of bladder hydrodistention videos uploaded by urologists, their overall quality and educational value are generally suboptimal. Videos combining surgical procedures with patient-oriented information show higher reliability and quality. Our findings highlight the importance of integrating concise summaries, subtitles, and surgical footage to improve the educational quality of such videos for surgeons.
