A YOLOv12-based approach for automatic detection of cephalometric landmarks on 2D lateral skull X-ray images.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Cephalometric analysis is the quantitative evaluation of skeletal and soft-tissue relationships on lateral skull radiographs; it underlies diagnosis, treatment planning, and growth assessment in orthodontics. The analysis hinges on cephalometric landmarks which are anatomical reference points whose 2-D coordinates are used to derive angles, distances, and ratios that guide clinical decisions. Manual identification of these landmarks is time-consuming where each image can take from 10 to 15 min and is subject to inter- and intra-examiner variability that can exceed 2 mm, propagating error into subsequent measurements. In recent years, artificial intelligence methods have advanced rapidly and are now widely adopted in medical imaging. This paper proposes an automatic landmark-detection pipeline built on YOLOv12, the newest iteration of the You-Only-Look-Once family. Trained and evaluated on a publicly available cephalometric dataset, the YOLOv12 model successfully localized 53.47% of landmarks within 1 mm and 80.57% within 2 mm.
