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

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a high risk of cardiovascular (CV) and kidney complications, largely driven by inflammation, fibrosis, and albuminuria. Despite advancements in standard therapies, many patients remain at high risk, necessitating new treatments that target these underlying mechanisms. Finerenone exerts antiinflammatory and antifibrotic effects, demonstrating a more favorable hyperkalemia profile than steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). Studies have demonstrated that finerenone significantly reduces the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), with many patients achieving a ≥ 30% reduction in UACR, which mediates the treatment effect on kidney and CV outcomes. The FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD trials, supported by the FIDELITY pooled analysis, highlight finerenone's ability to improve kidney and CV outcomes across diverse populations with CKD and T2D. Current guidelines, including those from the American Diabetes Association and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes, endorse finerenone for patients with CKD and T2D who have albuminuria and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 25 ml/min per 1.73 m
