Deep Learning for Osteoporosis Diagnosis Using Magnetic Resonance Images of Lumbar Vertebrae.
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 3 papers.
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
This work uses T1, STIR, and T2 MRI sequences of the lumbar vertebrae and BMD measurements to identify osteoporosis using deep learning. An analysis of 1350 MRI images from 50 individuals who had simultaneous BMD and MRI scans was performed. The accuracy of a custom convolution neural network for osteoporosis categorization was assessed using deep learning. T2-weighted MRIs were most diagnostic. The suggested model outperformed T1 and STIR sequences with 88.5% accuracy, 88.9% sensitivity, and 76.1% F1-score. Modern deep learning models like GoogleNet, EfficientNet-B3, ResNet50, InceptionV3, and InceptionResNetV2 were compared to its performance. These designs performed well, but our model was more sensitive and accurate. This research shows that T2-weighted MRI is the best sequence for osteoporosis diagnosis and that deep learning overcomes BMD-based approaches by reducing ionizing radiation. These results support clinical use of deep learning with MRI for safe, accurate, and quick osteoporosis diagnosis.
