A cross-sectional study on the quality and reliability of short videos related to precancerous cervical lesions on major platforms.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objective: To evaluate the quality, reliability, and educational value of videos related to precancerous cervical lesions across four major short-video platforms in China (TikTok, Bilibili, Kwai, and Xiaohongshu), using multiple validated evaluation tools. Methods: A total of 1842 short videos were collected, assessed using GQS, JAMA, modified DISCERN, PEMAT, and HONcode tools. The videos were analyzed for quality, reliability, educational value, and engagement metrics (likes, comments, collections, shares). Results: Videos on TikTok consistently achieved the highest scores for quality, reliability, and transparency across all scoring systems. In contrast, Bilibili, Kwai, and Xiaohongshu exhibited variable performance. Videos created by medical practitioners, particularly gynecologists, scored higher compared to those uploaded by non-medical practitioners. Content focusing on basic disease knowledge had higher educational value than prevention or post-treatment videos. Audience engagement did not always correlate with higher quality. Conclusion: Short-video platforms may serve as valuable channels for health information dissemination. Among the sampled videos, TikTok demonstrated higher quality scores than the other evaluated platforms. Future efforts may focus on improving health information quality assurance, encouraging healthcare professional participation in content creation, and optimizing video formats for actionable health guidance.
