Most online market exchanges are governed by reputation systems, which allow traders to comment on one another's behavior and attributes with ratings and text messages. These ratings then constitute sellers' reputations that serve as signals of their trustworthiness and competence. The large body of research investigating the effect of reputation on selling performance has produced mixed results, and there is a lack of consensus on whether the reputation effect exists and what it means. After showing how the reputation effect can be derived from a game-theoretic model, we use meta-analysis to synthesize evidence from 107 studies investigating the reputation effect in peer-to-peer online markets. Our results corroborate the existence of the reputation effect across different operationalizations of seller reputation and selling performance. Our results also show the extent to which the reputation effect varies. We discuss potential explanations for the variation in reputation effects that cannot be attributed to sampling error and thereby point out promising avenues for future research.

Introduction: The continued momentum toward equity-based, patient/community-engaged research (P/CenR) is pushing health sciences to embrace principles of community-based participatory research. Much of this progress has hinged on individual patient/community-academic partnered research projects and partnerships with minimal institutional support from their academic health institutions.
Methods: We partnered with three academic health institutions and used mixed methods (i.
This study aimed to assess diabetes health information found on TikTok and quantify misinformation on TikTok. The authors assessed 171 videos through two health literacy tools, DISCERN and the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audiovisual Materials, to rate the understandability and actionability of online medical content. The findings from this study encourage health care professionals to use social media platforms to provide factual information about diabetes and advise online health care consumers to use reputable sources such as trusted diabetes organizations' social media accounts, which tend to validate content with clinicians.

Introduction: Medical education imposes a financial burden on trainees. Given that cost-of-living varies across geographical regions, understanding its relationship with resident compensation can inform about the finances of residents. We investigated: (1) How does compensation for orthopaedic surgery residents vary across regions? (2) How does compensation for orthopaedic surgery residents vary with respect to cost of living? (3) What is the extent of surplus income for residents after accounting for hours worked? (4) What are the predictors of annual income for orthopaedic residents?
Material And Methods: Using the American Medical Association FREIDA database, we collected weekly work hours, location, program type, moonlight allowance, and geographic region for 190 nonmilitary orthopaedic programs.
