Miconazole Suppresses 27-Hydroxycholesterol-induced Inflammation by Regulating Activation of Monocytic Cells to a Proinflammatory Phenotype.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2021. 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
Miconazole is effective in treating inflammatory skin conditions and has well-established antifungal effects. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms mediating its additional beneficial effects, we assessed whether miconazole influences the inflammation induced by 27-hydroxycholesterol (27OHChol), an oxygenated cholesterol derivative with high proinflammatory activity, using THP-1 monocytic cells. Miconazole dose-dependently inhibited the expression of proinflammatory markers, including CCL2 and CCR5 ligands such as CCL3 and CCL4, and impaired the migration of monocytic cells and CCR5-positive T cells. In the presence of 27OHChol, miconazole decreased CD14 surface levels and considerably weakened the lipopolysaccharide response. Furthermore, miconazole blocked the release of soluble CD14 and impaired the transcription of the matrix metalloproteinase-9 gene and secretion of its active gene product. Additionally, it downregulated the expression of ORP3 and restored the endocytic function of THP-1 cells. Collectively, these findings indicate that miconazole regulates the 27OHChol-induced expression of proinflammatory molecules in monocytic cells, thereby suppressing inflammation in an oxysterol-rich milieu.
