Bilibili and TikTok as sources of medical information on osteonecrosis of the femoral head: A cross-platform content analysis.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a disabling orthopedic condition often diagnosed late due to limited public awareness. Social media platforms such as Bilibili and TikTok have become key sources of health information, yet the quality of content varies widely. Methods: We searched Bilibili and TikTok on February 12, 2025, using the Chinese term "" (osteonecrosis of the femoral head), which serves as both the scientific and commonly used colloquial expression. A total of 162 videos were analyzed using the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN), Global Quality Score, Video Information and Quality Index (VIQI), and Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool evaluation tools. User engagement metrics and content quality scores were compared between platforms using the Mann-Whitney Results: TikTok videos demonstrated significantly higher user engagement, reflected by greater numbers of likes, favorites and comments. However, Bilibili hosted a wider range of creators and provided more in-depth examination and diagnosis-oriented content. TikTok achieved higher scores in overall video quality (mDISCERN-sum and VIQI-sum), particularly in information flow，information accuracy and understandability, whereas Bilibili performed better in actionability, offering more detailed procedural or instructional guidance. Professional creators produced videos with higher scores in information flow and information accuracy, whereas non-professionals achieved higher actionability scores. Conclusion: TikTok and Bilibili serve complementary functions in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) education: TikTok enhances awareness of early symptoms, while Bilibili supports deeper understanding of imaging, staging and treatment. Building on these strengths, future digital health efforts should integrate professional expertise, improve content governance and apply AI-assisted tools to deliver accurate, accessible and actionable ONFH information for earlier detection and better disease management.
