Inclisiran in Patients with CKD: Post Hoc Pooled Analysis of Three Phase 3 Trials.
Trial report in Journal of the American Society of Nephrology : JASN, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It reports registered trial NCT03400800. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
key pointsInclisiran for LDL cholesterol reduction was analyzed post hoc in patients with CKD. Mean percentage LDL cholesterol reduction from baseline was around 50% regardless of eGFR in phase 3 trials. Inclisiran showed sustained and effective LDL cholesterol-lowering in patients across various levels of eGFR values, without new safety findings.
backgroundLowering LDL cholesterol reduces the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD. The efficacy and safety of inclisiran versus placebo in patients without and with CKD were investigated in a post hoc pooled analysis of three phase 3 trials (ORION-9, ORION-10, and ORION-11).
methodsPatients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or its risk equivalent, and elevated LDL cholesterol were randomized 1:1 to subcutaneous inclisiran or placebo on days 1 and 90 and every 6 months thereafter for 540 days. Patients were stratified based on baseline eGFR (by CKD Epidemiology Collaboration equation): ≥90, 60 to <90, 45 to <60, and 15 to <45 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 . Coprimary end points were percentage change in LDL cholesterol at day 510 and time-adjusted percentage change after day 90 and through day 540. Safety was also evaluated.
resultsOf 3660 patients, 1610 (44%) had eGFR ≥90, 1608 (44%) 60 to <90, 300 (8%) 45 to <60, and 142 (4%) 15 to <45 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 . The mean (95% confidence interval) placebo-corrected percentage changes in LDL cholesterol from baseline at day 510 in patients with eGFR ≥90, 60 to <90, 45 to <60, and 15 to <45 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 were -49.9% (-53.2 to -46.6), -51.2% (-54.4 to -48.0), -54.7% (-62.5 to -47.0), and -44.7% (-57.6 to -31.8), respectively ( P < 0.001); the corresponding mean (95% confidence interval) time-adjusted placebo-corrected percentage changes in LDL cholesterol from baseline after day 90 through day 540 were -48.4% (-50.8 to -46.1), -51.8% (-54.2 to -49.4), -55.6% (-61.0 to -50.2), and -50.4% (-59.3 to -41.5; each P < 0.001). Significant decreases in total cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, non-HDL cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a) occurred in all eGFR groups. Inclisiran was well tolerated without new safety findings.
conclusionsInclisiran demonstrated sustained and effective LDL cholesterol reduction in patients with or at risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, regardless of baseline eGFR as low as 15 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 , without new safety findings.
