Diabetic Nephropathy: Update on Pillars of Therapy Slowing Progression.
Review in Diabetes care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 152 papers, 9 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Management of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has evolved in parallel with our growing understanding of the multiple interrelated pathophysiological mechanisms that involve hemodynamic, metabolic, and inflammatory pathways. These pathways and others play a vital role in the initiation and progression of DKD. Since its initial discovery, the blockade of the renin-angiotensin system has remained a cornerstone of DKD management, leaving a large component of residual risk to be dealt with. The advent of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors followed by nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and, to some extent, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) has ushered in a resounding paradigm shift that supports a pillared approach in maximizing treatment to reduce outcomes. This pillared approach is like that derived from the approach to heart failure treatment. The approach mandates that all agents that have been shown in clinical trials to reduce cardiovascular outcomes and/or mortality to a greater extent than a single drug class alone should be used in combination. In this way, each drug class focuses on a specific aspect of the disease's pathophysiology. Thus, in heart failure, β-blockers, sacubitril/valsartan, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, and a diuretic are used together. In this article, we review the evolution of the pillar concept of therapy as it applies to DKD and discuss how it should be used based on the outcome evidence. We also discuss the exciting possibility that GLP-1 RAs may be an additional pillar in the quest to further slow kidney disease progression in diabetes.
