Post-stroke Bone Fragility: Early Bone Loss, Risk Factors, and Recovery Considerations.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Post-stroke bone fragility is marked by significant early bone mineral density (BMD) loss, especially in the limbs affected by hemiplegia. This condition is driven by reduced mobility, muscle weakness, and physiologic changes that impair bone remodeling. These skeletal changes can contribute to reduced physical function and challenges in recovery. Despite the growing recognition of these complications, screening and treatment for osteoporosis in this population remain inconsistent. Early rehabilitation strategies, including structured physical activity and pharmacologic interventions, offer potential benefits. However, gaps in clinical protocols and limited use of routine screening underscore the need for improved post-stroke bone health management. Future efforts should prioritize timely diagnosis, individualized rehabilitation, and interdisciplinary collaboration to mitigate long-term fracture risk.
