Influence of Social Media on the Dissemination and Uptake of Cardiology Research.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The digital revolution has transformed the landscape of scientific communication, offering new tools for the dissemination and uptake of research. In cardiology, a field defined by rapid innovation and large-scale data generation, social media platforms have emerged as powerful adjuncts to traditional publishing methods. Platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and LinkedIn are increasingly used by journals, academic institutions, and individual clinicians to share research, engage in discourse, and promote knowledge translation. This literature review explores the existing body of research on social media's role in the dissemination and uptake of cardiology research. It discusses the influence of altmetrics, the impact on citation patterns, the integration into conference proceedings and continuing medical education, and highlights ethical considerations, including misinformation and professionalism. The review concludes with future directions for research and policy in this emerging field.
