YOLOv8-Seg: a deep learning approach for accurate classification of osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
Article in Frontiers in radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: This study investigates the application of a deep learning model, YOLOv8-Seg, for the automated classification of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) from computed tomography (CT) images. Methods: A dataset of 673 CT images from patients admitted between March 2013 and May 2023 was collected and classified according to the European Vertebral Osteoporosis Study Group (EVOSG) system. Of these, 643 images were used for training and validation, while a separate set of 30 images was reserved for testing. Results: The model achieved a mean Average Precision (mAP50-95) of 85.9% in classifying fractures into crush, anterior wedge, and biconcave types. Discussion: The results demonstrate the high proficiency of the YOLOv8-Seg model in identifying OVFs, indicating its potential as a decision-support tool to streamline the current manual diagnostic process. This work underscores the significant potential of deep learning to assist medical professionals in achieving early and precise diagnoses, thereby improving patient outcomes.
