The Double-Edged Role of Social Media in Modern Healthcare: Awareness, Impact, and Misinformation.
Review in Journal of immunotherapy and precision oncology, 2026. 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
Social media platforms influence healthcare. Social media engagement creates opportunities for health education, networking, patient empowerment, and public health initiatives. However, misinformation is common and circulates alongside accurate information. Additional concerns with online engagement include patient privacy and issues surrounding health disparities. This review examines the role of social media in the modern healthcare system from both the patient and the healthcare provider perspectives with a focus on oncology care. It explores the issues surrounding social media use among patients and the responsibilities of healthcare professionals, institutions, policymakers, and regulatory authorities in harnessing its benefits while mitigating risks. Although social media is a powerful tool for democratizing health information and fostering community support, its unchecked influence requires careful navigation through evidence-based strategies, digital literacy initiatives, and collaborative approaches between patients, technology platforms, and healthcare stakeholders.
