1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: Our research aims to assess the quality and reliability of videos related to prostate cancer on TikTok and Bilibili, and to compare content characteristics and information accuracy between the two platforms. Methods: On May 1, 2025, we searched for the top 100 videos using the terms "prostate cancer" on TikTok and "" on Bilibili, resulting in 200 videos. Two independent reviewers evaluated the content of each video using the Global Quality Scale (GQS) score and modified DISCERN (mDISCERN). Both reviewers independently assessed each video's scope, reliability, and overall quality. Results: Significant differences were observed in GQS and mDISCERN scores between TikTok and Bilibili videos ( Conclusion: Prostate cancer-related videos on Bilibili are generally of higher quality and reliability than those on TikTok. However, videos produced by urologists consistently demonstrated higher quality and reliability compared to those by patients across both platforms. Social media platforms should enhance the review and regulation of medical content to ensure its authenticity and accuracy, while content creators should aim to improve video quality to better meet the needs of a wider audience.
