PAI-1 is a common driver of aging and diverse diseases.
Review in Biomedical journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a key driver of aging and contributes to diverse pathologies. This review examines PAI-1's multifaceted contributions to aging. At the cellular level, PAI-1 amplifies senescence, exhausts stem cell niches, and disrupts metabolism. These cellular alterations translate into physiological decline: PAI-1 drives cardiovascular aging by promoting vascular senescence and arterial stiffening, contributes to cognitive decline by impairing amyloid-beta clearance, fuels cancer progression through angiogenesis and immune suppression, and exacerbates muscle atrophy by hindering regeneration. A rare loss-of-function SERPINE1 mutation extends lifespan, illustrating how lifelong PAI-1 reduction can positively impact the human healthspan. Looking forward, targeting PAI-1 with inhibitors could mitigate senescence, restore stem cell function, improve metabolic profile, enhance physiological health, and promise a longer healthspan.
