PAI-1 uncouples integrin-β1 from restrain by membrane-bound β-catenin to promote collagen fibril remodeling in obesity-related neoplasms.
Article in Cell reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The paracrine actions of adipokine plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) are implicated in obesity-associated tumorigenesis. Here, we show that PAI-1 mediates extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling via epigenetic repression of DKK1 in endometrial epithelial cells (EECs). While the loss of DKK1 is known to increase β-catenin accumulation for WNT signaling activation, this epigenetic repression causes β-catenin release from transmembrane integrins. Furthermore, PAI-1 elicits the disengagement of TIMP2 and SPARC from integrin-β1 on the cell surface, lifting an integrin-β1-ECM signaling constraint. The heightened interaction of integrin-β1 with type 1 collagen (COL1) remodels extracellular fibrillar structures in the ECM. Consequently, the enhanced nanomechanical stiffness of this microenvironment is conducive to EEC motility and neoplastic transformation. The formation of extensively branched COL1 fibrils is also observed in endometrial tumors of patients with obesity. The findings highlight PAI-1 as a contributor to enhanced integrin-COL1 engagement and extensive ECM remodeling during obesity-associated neoplastic development.
