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

Background: The efficacy of non-peptide small-molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists in diabetic kidney disease remains uncertain, particularly as add-on therapy to contemporary high-intensity treatments. We assessed HRS-7535, a novel oral small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist, in this population. Methods: SOLID-DKD was a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial conducted at 72 clinical sites in China. Adults with diabetic kidney disease (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio [UACR] 300-<3000 mg/g; estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥30 mL/min per 1.73 m Findings: Between June 21, 2024, and March 30, 2025, 281 participants were randomised; 280 received at least one dose (30 mg: n = 93; 90 mg: n = 94; placebo: n = 93). Baseline median UACR was 763 mg/g; 181 (64.6%) participants were receiving SGLT2 inhibitors and 68 (24.3%) were receiving finerenone. At week 16, the placebo-corrected reduction in UACR with 90 mg was -32% (95% CI -43 to -18; treatment-policy estimand [intention-to-treat]) and -38% (-49 to -24; efficacy estimand [on-treatment analysis]); with 30 mg, -14% (-29 to 4) and -19% (-34 to -2), respectively. Compared with placebo, the mean difference in glycated haemoglobin with HRS-7535 90 mg was -1.09% (-1.32 to -0.86) and in body weight was -2.95% (-3.94 to -1.95). Adverse events were primarily mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal events during dose escalation. Serious adverse events occurred in 5 (5.4%), 4 (4.3%), and 2 (2.2%) participants in the 30 mg, 90 mg, and placebo groups. Discontinuation due to adverse events occurred in 3 (3.2%), 1 (1.1%), and 0 participants, respectively. No deaths occurred. Interpretation: HRS-7535 dose-dependently reduced albuminuria in patients with diabetic kidney disease receiving intensive contemporary therapy, with a short-term safety profile consistent with the GLP-1 receptor agonist class, supporting its evaluation in phase 3 renal outcome trials.
