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

purpose of reviewRecently, nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists (MRAs), which have been proposed to be called MR blockers (MRBs), have become available for clinical use, but their clinical role is unknown. We reviewed the clinical roles of MRAs and MRBs based on previous knowledge and as demonstrated in representative clinical trials. RECENT

findingsSteroidal MRAs, such as spironolactone and eplerenone, inhibit the action of aldosterone and cortisol in MRs expressed in several organs and cell types, and accumulating clinical studies have revealed that they exert hypotensive and cardiorenal protective effects. Recently, MRBs, including finerenone and esaxerenone, have been developed and are expected to lower the risk of hyperkalemia, which is common when steroidal MRAs are used. Although the differences between MRAs and MRBs in clinical practice have not yet been established, further studies in this field are expected to broaden our understanding. MRBs exert antihypertensive and cardiorenal protective effects, and their potency is thought to be far superior to that of MRAs, because MRBs have both strong MR inhibitory action and high selectivity. Thus, MRBs could be a promising agent for the treatment of hypertension and cardiorenal, cerebral, and metabolic disorders.
