AI-based Hip Fracture Classification from Pelvic X-ray Images Using a Hybrid PEFT-ViT and XGBoost Model.
Article in Journal of imaging informatics in medicine, 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
Accurate radiographic classification of hip fractures into femoral neck (intracapsular) versus intertrochanteric (extracapsular) types is essential for surgical planning, yet most AI studies focus on binary detection using large datasets from high-resource regions, with no prior work from the Middle East. This study proposes a Hybrid PEFT-ViT and XGBoost framework for three-class classification of hip radiographs (Normal, Intertrochanteric fracture, Neck of femur fracture), using 768 X-ray images collected from King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) in Northern Jordan. A LoRA-fine-tuned ViT-Base/16 backbone extracted fused class-token and patch-token features, which were classified using XGBoost. On an independent test set of 77 radiographs, the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 88.31% (95% CI 79.3-93.7%), a sensitivity of 87.75%, a specificity of 94.28%, and an F1-score of 87.75%, the highest among the evaluated CNN-based (MobileNetV2, DenseNet121) and transformer-based (ViT, DeiT, Swin) baselines. These results show that clinically meaningful hip fracture classification can be achieved using a single-center dataset, providing a practical framework for resource-limited settings, although external validation is still required.
