The quality and reliability of short videos on cardiovascular disease combined with anxiety or depression and their narrative healing efficacy.

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: Short-form video platforms have become primary channels for the public to access health information; therefore, their influence in disseminating knowledge about psychosomatic disorders has garnered increasing attention. We aimed to systematically evaluate the quality, presentation formats and emotional narrative characteristics of short videos concerning cardiovascular disease co-occurring with anxiety and depression on the TikTok and Bilibili platforms. Methods: A cross-sectional content analysis approach was employed. Popular Chinese-language short videos relevant to the research theme were selected from both platforms. Content quality was assessed using the Global Quality Score, modified DISCERN, and Results: Although certain videos conveyed basic medical knowledge, overall quality proved to be inconsistent. Videos from professional sources scored significantly higher than non-professional accounts, with Bilibili content generally demonstrating greater depth and scientific rigour than TikTok. However, in user engagement metrics, non-professional content outperformed professionally produced material. Most videos lacked a thorough discussion of multifactorial disease causes and individual variations, with some exhibiting excessive simplification. Conclusion: Short-form video platforms hold potential for enhancing health awareness; however, significant tension exists between user preferences and scientific rigour. Multi-stakeholder collaboration and technological support are necessary to improve platform content quality and scientific accuracy.
