A Deep Learning-Based Automatic Recognition Model for Polycystic Ovary Ultrasound Images
Article in Balkan medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has a significant impact on endocrine metabolism, reproductive function, and mental health in women of reproductive age. The accuracy of ultrasound in identifying polycystic ovarian morphology remains variable. Aims: To develop a deep learning model capable of rapidly and accurately identifying PCOS using ovarian ultrasound images. Study Design: Prospective diagnostic accuracy study. Methods: This prospective study included data from 1,751 women with suspected PCOS with clinical and ultrasound information collected and archived. Patients from center 1 were randomly divided into a training set and an internal validation set in a 7:3 ratio, while patients from center 2 served as the external validation set. Using the YOLOv11 deep learning framework, an automated recognition model for ovarian ultrasound images in PCOS cases was constructed, and its diagnostic performance was evaluated. Results: Ultrasound images from 933 patients (781 from center 1 and 152 from center 2) were analyzed. The mean average precision of the YOLOv11 model in detecting the target ovary was 95.7%, 97.6%, and 97.8% for the training, internal validation, and external validation sets, respectively. For diagnostic classification, the model achieved an F1 score of 95.0% in the training set and 96.9% in both validation sets. The area under the curve values were 0.953, 0.973, and 0.967 for the training, internal validation, and external validation sets respectively. The model also demonstrated significantly faster evaluation of a single ovary compared to clinicians (doctor, 5.0 seconds; model, 0.1 seconds; Conclusion: The YOLOv11-based automatic recognition model for PCOS ovarian ultrasound images exhibits strong target detection and diagnostic performance. This approach can streamline the follicle counting process in conventional ultrasound and enhance the efficiency and generalizability of ultrasound-based PCOS assessment.
