PGC-1α: key regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular differentiation in metabolic and regenerative tissues.
Review in Cell & bioscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) is a crucial coactivator that regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and function across diverse tissues, including the brain, heart, skeletal muscle, bone marrow, and liver. The diversity of PGC-1α isoforms in distinct tissues allows this co-transcription factor to exert wide-ranging biological effects, including regulating mitochondrial functions, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis. Here, we focus on the key roles of PGC-1α in cell differentiation. Initially identified in brown adipose tissue in response to cold exposure, PGC-1α regulates cell differentiation by modulating gene expression networks involved in mitochondrial biogenesis. PGC-1α influences cell fate in several cell types, including adipocytes, skeletal muscle cells, and bone marrow-derived cells. A deeper understanding of PGC-1α provides valuable insights into developmental biology, tissue formation, and potential therapeutic targets for regenerative medicine and disease treatment. This review explores recent progress in understanding the roles of PGC-1α in cell differentiation, offering an integrated perspective on its significance in tissue and organism development.
