Epigenetic pharmacology in aging: from mechanisms to therapies for age-related disorders.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Aging is a multidimensional process regulated by the interplay of genetic and environmental factors, with epigenetic alterations serving as a central regulatory hub. Aberrant DNA methylation patterns, dysregulation of histone-modifying enzymes (e.g., SIRT1, EZH2), and non-coding RNA-mediated mechanisms collectively remodel gene expression networks, impacting critical pathways such as cellular senescence and mitochondrial homeostasis. This establishes an "environment-epigenome-disease" causal axis, closely associated with pathologies including β-amyloid deposition in Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, immunosenescence, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and tumorigenesis. Capitalizing on the reversible nature of epigenetic modifications, pharmacological epigenetics has emerged as a cutting-edge field for intervening in aging and age-related diseases. Targeting key epigenetic modifiers such as DNA methyltransferases and histone deacetylases enables the modulation of disease-associated epigenetic states, providing a promising avenue for therapeutic intervention in aging and age-related diseases. This review synthesizes the molecular mechanisms of epigenetic regulation in aging, their role in age-related diseases, and advances in pharmacological epigenetics-from basic research to clinical translation. It further situates key challenges such as target specificity, long-term safety, and tissue-specific delivery within a translational framework, aiming to inform strategies for the diagnosis and intervention of age-related conditions.
