1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The CCN family of matricellular proteins are recognized bona fide targets for therapeutically targeting so-called chronic inflammatory diseases, including fibrosis and cancers. The majority of the work supporting this contention has been derived from examining CCN2, formerly, and unhelpfully, termed "connective tissue growth factor." Both CCN2, and its related protein, CCN1, formerly termed "cysteine-rich protein 61", are positively regulated by not only TGFbeta, but also by the hippo/YAP/TAZ mechanotransduction pathway that appears to drive these pathologies. Indeed, increasing evidence indicates that CCN1 also contributes to these fibrosis and cancers and, consequently, targeting both CCN2 and CCN1 simultaneously could be of therapeutic value. This commentary focuses on a recent, exciting paper (Ju et al., 2020, Scientific Reports, 10, 3201) suggesting that CCN1 is a target for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
