Roles of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 in Heterotopic Ossification Induced by Achilles Tenotomy in Thermal Injured Mice.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the process by which ectopic bone forms at an extraskeletal site. Inflammatory conditions induce plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), an inhibitor of fibrinolysis, which regulates osteogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the roles of PAI-1 in the pathophysiology of HO induced by trauma/burn treatment using PAI-1-deficient mice. PAI-1 deficiency significantly promoted HO and increased the number of alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-positive cells in Achilles tendons after trauma/burn treatment. The mRNA levels of inflammation markers were elevated in Achilles tendons of both wild-type and PAI-1-deficient mice after trauma/burn treatment and PAI-1 mRNA levels were elevated in Achilles tendons of wild-type mice. PAI-1 deficiency significantly up-regulated the expression of Runx2, Osterix, and type 1 collagen in Achilles tendons 9 weeks after trauma/burn treatment in mice. In in vitro experiments, PAI-1 deficiency significantly increased ALP activity and mineralization in mouse osteoblasts. Moreover, PAI-1 deficiency significantly increased ALP activity and up-regulated osteocalcin expression during osteoblastic differentiation from mouse adipose-tissue-derived stem cells, but suppressed the chondrogenic differentiation of these cells. In conclusion, the present study showed that PAI-1 deficiency promoted HO in Achilles tendons after trauma/burn treatment partly by enhancing osteoblast differentiation and ALP activity in mice. Endogenous PAI-1 may play protective roles against HO after injury and inflammation.
