High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography imaging and bone biomarker characteristics of patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack-baseline analysis of the Post-stroke Osteopathy study.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 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
Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) leads to unfavorable structural changes in the bones. The underlying pathophysiological process is unclear. We provide a detailed characterization of the structural and biochemical properties of bone in a stroke/TIA cohort. Our findings lay the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of post-stroke osteopathy and its clinical implications. PURPOSE: Patients who have suffered a stroke or transient ischemic attack are at high risk of fractures, which increase mortality and reduce health-related quality of life. Previous studies showed that ischemic stroke leads to unfavorable structural changes in the bones, but the underlying pathophysiological process is still unclear. Our aim was to analyze biomarkers and bone structure with high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in a stroke/TIA cohort.
methodsThis cross-sectional study analyzes the baseline data of a prospective cohort. Patients underwent HR-pQCT scans of the radius and tibia, alongside biochemical bone marker evaluation, within the first days after the acute cerebrovascular event.
resultsWomen had lower total, cortical, and trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and lower values for most other HR-pQCT parameters. Patients with increasing age had lower total and cortical vBMD, but no difference in trabecular parameters. Active or former smokers had lower total and trabecular vBMD. Higher BMI was associated with greater cortical and trabecular bone areas and higher trabecular density. A positive correlation was found between sclerostin levels and trabecular parameters. Higher osteoprotegerin levels were associated with lower cortical area and thickness. Osteocalcin showed a negative correlation with total vBMD and cortical thickness.
conclusionsThis study is the first to combine HR-pQCT imaging with bone biomarkers to provide a detailed characterization of the structural and biochemical properties of bone in a stroke/TIA cohort. Our findings lay the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of post-stroke osteopathy and its clinical implications.
