The pivotal role of video duration in health science popularization: A mixed-methods analysis integrating machine learning and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis.
Article in Digital health. 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
Background: Short video platforms have become important channels for the public to obtain health information, but the quality of health science popularization content varies greatly. Existing studies lack a comprehensive exploration of the determinants of video quality and their interaction mechanisms. Objective: This study aimed to identify the key features influencing the quality of cerebrovascular disease health science popularization short videos and clarify their configurational effects. Methods: Python web-crawling technology was used to collect health science popularization short videos on TikTok related to cerebrovascular diseases over the past year, and the video quality was evaluated using the Grade Quality Score (GQS) tool by two medical professionals. Eight machine learning models were constructed to identify key quality-related features. The joint effect of six features was analyzed for necessity and sufficiency by using the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method. Finally, the Results: A total of 541 valid videos were collected. Most videos were posted by medical staff (77.27%), among which high-quality videos (with GQS > 3) accounted for 14.42%. The importance of video duration reached 30.5%, making it the most crucial feature affecting video quality. The fsQCA results indicated that short duration was one of the conditions for high-quality videos, with the optimal duration being 3 to 5 minutes. Conclusions: Video duration was the main determinant of the quality of cerebrovascular disease health science popularization short videos. Improving the short-video communication skills of medical professionals and optimizing video duration are effective ways to enhance the quality of health science popularization content.
