Yolov7 neural network for pelvic X-rays after total hip arthroplasty: automatically measuring component position parameters- a retrospective feasibility study.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 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
backgroundAfter total hip arthroplasty (THA), regular follow-up X-rays are required to evaluate the position of the prosthesis. However, measuring the parameters of prosthesis position consumes a significant amount of time, and there may be variations in the results obtained by different doctors. PURPOSE: To validate the feasibility of an artificial intelligence model for the automated measurement of component position parameters on anteroposterior X-rays after THA. MATERIALS AND
methodsPost-THA anteroposterior X-rays were collected from five hospitals in Inner Mongolia, China. They were divided into training, validation and test sets. The model was divided into left, right, and bilateral THA modules for training. Statistical analysis was performed using Python 3.8 and SPSS 25.0. The accuracy of the model in keypoint detection and measurement were assessed. In addition, we compared the time difference between the model and manual measurements.
resultsA total of 1050 X-rays were included in the training and validation sets (350 X-rays for each module), and 105 in the test set (35 X-rays for each module). Overall, 80.00-100.00% of the model-predicted keypoints fell within 3 mm of the standard keypoints. The model-predicted values were highly consistent with the standard reference values (intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.89-0.99, r = 0.83-0.99, root mean square error = 0.96-3.43, mean absolute error = 0.78-2.87, mean difference = -1.29-1.17). The model-predicted values were highly consistent with the measurements of senior attending radiologists. The model took an average of 3.2 s to measure an X-ray image, which is significantly shorter than the 751.76 s in manual measurement.
conclusionsThis study validates the feasibility of the model for rapid and accurate keypoint identification and component position parameter measurement on anteroposterior X-rays. The model holds promise as a diagnostic aid to alleviate clinicians' workload and facilitate the monitoring of prosthetic positioning changes following THA. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
