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

aimsFinerenone has been approved for treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) with reducing cardiorenal risk. Real-world data on finerenone treatment for the management of DKD are presently lacking. This study aimed to investigate the effect of finerenone on the renal parameters of the Chinese DKD population in the real-world medical setting for the first time, especially in combination with renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i).

methodsForty-two DKD patients were selected and completed a 6-month finerenone treatment. Renal parameters and adverse effects were collected at every visit.

resultsThe median urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) was 1426.11 (755.42, 3638.23) mg/g. Among them, the proportion of patients with a UACR of 300-5000 mg/g was 76.2%, and the proportion of patients with a UACR of >5000 mg/g was 14.3%. The median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 54.50 (34.16, 81.73) mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsThis study from China first demonstrated finerenone decreased UACR with manageable safety in real-world DKD treatment. A triple regimen of RASi, SGLT2i, and finerenone may be a promising treatment strategy for lowering albuminuria and reducing hyperkalemia risk in advanced DKD patients.
