The anti-inflammatory agent bindarit acts as a modulator of fatty acid-binding protein 4 in human monocytic cells.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We investigated the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which bindarit, a small indazolic derivative with prominent anti-inflammatory effects, exerts its immunoregulatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated human monocytic cells. We found that bindarit differentially regulates the release of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), enhancing the release of IL-8 and reducing that of MCP-1. These effects specifically required a functional interaction between bindarit and fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), a lipid chaperone that couples intracellular lipid mediators to their biological targets and signaling pathways. We further demonstrated that bindarit can directly interact with FABP4 by increasing its expression and nuclear localization, thus impacting on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and LPS-dependent kinase signaling. Taken together, these findings suggest a potential key-role of FABP4 in the immunomodulatory activity of bindarit, and extend the spectrum of its possible therapeutic applications to FABP4 modulation.
