Coriander leaf essential oil as an immunomodulator: Enhancing NF-κB-driven RAW246.7 murine macrophages response to Candida albicans.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Coriander is a cultivated aromatic herb used as a culinary ingredient and in traditional medicinal treatments worldwide. Coriander essential oil contains various bioactive constituents with antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. The oil also has antifungal activity against Candida albicans, the most common opportunistic fungal pathogen causing infections at various body sites. Furthermore, the oil can increase macrophage phagocytic activity. However, its effect on other macrophage functions during C. albicans infection is still unclear. This study aims to investigate the effect of coriander leaf essential oil on macrophage activity via the NF-κB gene expression during C. albicans infection. RAW264.7, a murine macrophage cell line, was cultured with viable C. albicans, either in the absence or presence of the oil (0 - 50 μg/mL). The fungal killing activity, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine production, and NF-κB gene expression were assessed. Our results revealed the potential of coriander leaf essential oil as an immunomodulator that enhances macrophage responses to C. albicans via the activation of the NF-κB gene. These findings may help to further the development of coriander leaf essential oil as an adjuvant antifungal and immunomodulatory medication.
