1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, neurodegeneration, and metabolic syndrome share a unifying pathological signature-persistent low-grade inflammation or "inflammaging". Among the transcriptional regulators that orchestrate this process, RUNX1 has emerged as a pivotal molecular hub linking inflammation, cellular senescence, and tissue dysfunction. Traditionally recognized for its role in hematopoietic lineage specification, RUNX1 is now known to exert context-dependent regulatory functions across diverse organ systems. Its activation in aged tissues is driven by convergent pro-inflammatory and stress-related pathways-including NF-κB, MAPK, JAK/STAT, and oxidative signaling-that reinforce RUNX1 transcriptional activity through epigenetic reprogramming and chromatin remodeling. Sustained RUNX1 upregulation contributes to cellular senescence, fibrotic remodeling, and regenerative blockade, forming a self-perpetuating cycle of "inflammation amplification-functional decline". In the cardiovascular, nervous, and hematopoietic systems, aberrant RUNX1 activation underlies fibrosis, neuroinflammation, and clonal hematopoiesis, respectively, establishing RUNX1 as a shared driver of age-associated pathology. The isoform-specific and temporally dynamic regulation of RUNX1 underpins its dual pro- and anti-inflammatory roles, highlighting its translational potential as both a biomarker and therapeutic target. A range of emerging intervention strategies has demonstrated promising capacity to precisely modulate RUNX1 activity. Collectively, these advances position RUNX1 at the intersection of inflammation, epigenetic instability, and tissue degeneration, opening new avenues for targeted intervention in inflammaging and age-related diseases.
