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

Nomlabofusp is a recombinant, cell-penetrating human frataxin (hFXN) fusion protein in development for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA). This study evaluated whether nomlabofusp-derived hFXN concentrations covary across accessible peripheral matrices and FRDA-relevant tissues, supporting the feasibility of surrogate tissue sampling to monitor drug-derived hFXN exposure. Following subcutaneous administration in mice, rats, non-human primates, and patients with FRDA, we quantified nomlabofusp-derived hFXN and assessed cross-tissue correlations across target tissues (brain, heart, skeletal muscle, dorsal root ganglia) and accessible peripheral matrices (skin, buccal cells, platelets). We observed significant and consistent cross-tissue correlations, with concordant relationships among heart, skeletal muscle, dorsal root ganglia, skin, buccal cells, liver, and mitochondrial fractions, indicating coordinated distribution and/or retention of nomlabofusp-derived hFXN across these matrices. Correlation patterns were maintained across species, supporting the robustness and translational relevance of the observed relationships. Collectively, these data support the use of peripheral tissues-particularly skin and buccal cells-for cross-sectional and longitudinal monitoring of hFXN supplementation in FRDA.
