Color of the boxes indicate the quality of the videos: red: low (DISCERN score 1–2.4); orange: moderate (DISCERN score 2.5–3.4): green: high (DISCERN score 3.5–5). The median PEMAT understandability score was 60% (range 0–100%) for radiotherapy and 75 % (range 40–100) for surgery videos. Both therapy modalities reached a median PEMAT actionability of 50 % (range 0–100% (radiotherapy), 25–100% (surgery)).
