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

Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is a rare multisystem, life-limiting disease and is the most common early-onset inherited ataxia in populations of European, Arab and Indian descent. In recent years, substantial progress has been made in dissecting the pathogenesis and natural history of FRDA, and several clinical trials have been initiated. A particularly notable recent achievement was the approval of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 activator omaveloxolone as the first disease-specific therapy for FRDA. In light of these developments, we review milestones in FRDA translational and clinical research over the past 10 years, as well as the various therapeutic strategies currently in the pipeline. We also consider the lessons that have been learned from failed trials and other setbacks. We conclude by presenting a global roadmap for future research, as outlined by the recently established Friedreich's Ataxia Global Clinical Consortium, which covers North and South America, Europe, India, Australia and New Zealand.
