Assessing deep learning accuracy in the measurement of radiographic parameters in pediatric hip X-rays.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAssessing radiographic parameters in pediatric pelvic X-rays is crucial for evaluating hip development, yet existing deep learning (DL)-based methods lack both age-specific reliability analysis and a comprehensive solution for measuring multiple key parameters.
methodsThis retrospective study developed and validated a DL-based system using separate, nonoverlapping datasets of 1495 and 1300 anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiographs of normal Korean children for model training and evaluation, respectively. The system measured the acetabular index (AcI), Shenton line (ShL), pelvic rotation index (PRI), and pelvic tilt index (PTI). Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the effects of age-related pelvic bone development. Evaluation metrics included the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Pearson correlation coefficient (r), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), Hausdorff distance (HD), and Frechet distance (FD). Agreement between the system's and clinician's measurements was assessed using Bland-Altman analysis.
resultsFor all evaluation data, automatically measured AcI, PRI, PTI, and ShL values strongly matched and correlated with radiologist-assessed values (AcI: ICC = 0.89, r = 0.91, MAE = 2.07°, RMSE = 2.99°; PRI: ICC = 0.94, r = 0.94, MAE = 0.03, RMSE = 0.04; PTI: ICC = 0.97, r = 0.97, MAE = 0.04, RMSE = 0.09; ShL: HD = 3.62 mm, FD = 2.27 mm). The subgroup analysis revealed that the system's performance varied with age-related differences in pelvic bone development.
conclusionThe DL-based system exhibited high reliability and accuracy in measuring radiographic parameters for differentiating normal from dislocated hips and assessing pelvic radiograph quality.
