ArticleJournal of cell communication and signaling2018
The official unified nomenclature adopted by the HGNC calls for the use of the acronyms, CCN1-6, and discontinuation in the use of CYR61, CTGF, NOV and WISP 1-3 respectively.
Article in Journal of cell communication and signaling, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 56 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
An examination of the confusion generated around the use of different acronyms for CCN proteins has been performed by the editors of the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee upon the request of the International CCN Society Scientific Committee. After careful consideration of the various arguments, and after polling the community of researchers who have published in the field over the past ten years, the HGNC have decided to adopt and approve the CCN nomenclature for all 6 genes. Effective October 2018, the genes referred to as CYR61, CTGF, NOV and WISP1-3 will be respectively designated by the gene symbols CCN1-6 with corresponding gene names « cellular communication Q2 network factor 1-6 ». We believe that this decision will be a step towards better communication between researchers working in the field, and will set the stage for fruitful collaborative projects. Accordingly, the Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, the official journal of the International CCN Society, available both in print and online, constitutes a unique window into the CCN field. This official nomenclature will benefit the international scientific community that is supported by the established and renowned professionalism of the Springer-Nature publishing group.
