A Deep Learning Approach for Mandibular Condyle Segmentation on Ultrasonography.
Article in Journal of imaging informatics in medicine, 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
Deep learning techniques have demonstrated potential in various fields, including segmentation, and have recently been applied to medical image processing. This study aims to develop and evaluate computer-based diagnostic software designed to assess the segmentation of the mandibular condyle in ultrasound images. A total of 668 retrospective ultrasound images of anonymous adult mandibular condyles were analyzed. The CranioCatch labeling program (CranioCatch, Eskişehir, Turkey) was utilized to annotate the mandibular condyle using a polygonal labeling method. These annotations were subsequently reviewed and validated by experts in oral and maxillofacial radiology. In this study, all test images were detected and segmented using the YOLOv8 deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) model. When evaluating the model's performance in image estimation, it achieved an F1 score of 0.93, a sensitivity of 0.90, and a precision of 0.96. The automatic segmentation of the mandibular condyle from ultrasound images presents a promising application of artificial intelligence. This approach can help surgeons, radiologists, and other specialists save time in the diagnostic process.
