Improving Renal Protection in Chronic Kidney Disease Associated with Type 2 Diabetes: The Role of Finerenone.
Review in Endocrine, metabolic & immune disorders drug targets, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), which often leads to diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Traditional therapies, including renin- angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, are effective in slowing CKD progression. However, these approaches are insufficient to comprehensively inhibit mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) overactivation in the kidneys, which remains a significant driver of inflammation, fibrosis, and oxidative stress. These pathological processes accelerate kidney damage and cardiovascular complications. Finerenone-a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist-represents a new frontier in renal protection. Unlike steroidal mineralocorticoid antagonists (MRAs), finerenone offers a more selective MR blockade, reducing kidney inflammation and fibrosis without significantly raising serum potassium levels. Landmark trials have demonstrated the ability of finerenone to significantly reduce kidney and cardiovascular events in patients with T2D and CKD. Clinical evidence has highlighted finerenone as an effective option for slowing DKD progression while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Based on these findings, recent guidelines have incorporated finerenone as a recommended therapy for patients with T2D and CKD, emphasizing its role in reducing both renal and cardiovascular risks. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the available data to offer a deeper understanding of the potential of finerenone to transform CKD management for T2D patients.
