Hemodynamic effects of finerenone on blood pressure and heart rate in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes: a real-world study.
Observational study in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: While the long-term cardiorenal benefits of finerenone have been established in landmark clinical trials, its immediate impact on hemodynamic parameters in routine clinical practice remains to be fully characterized. This study aimed to evaluate the real-world acute effects of finerenone on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of patients with T2D who were initiated on finerenone as part of standard clinical care. Patients were grouped into five cohorts based on the day of treatment initiation (Day 1 to Day 5). We monitored morning (a.m.) and afternoon (p.m.) systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) daily for 7 days. Baseline characteristics, including urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), serum potassium, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) markers, were assessed to reflect the real-world population's heterogeneity. Results: In this real-world cohort, finerenone was mainly prescribed to patients with notably high UACR (average grade III; p < 0.0001 compared to non-users), indicating its targeted use for high-risk kidney patients. Despite a complex background of intensive therapies-including ARBs (90.6%), CCBs (84.6%), and SGLT-2 inhibitors (91.4%)-adding finerenone was linked to significant decreases in both SBP and DBP. Daily detailed analysis showed that the largest BP reductions often occurred within the first 24-48 hours of treatment (p < 0.05 to p < 0.0001), across various treatment groups. Additionally, heart rate (HR) remained stable during the initial days of therapy. The distribution of background medications stayed consistent during finerenone treatment, suggesting that the hemodynamic improvements were not due to changes in other antihypertensive medications. Conclusion: This real-world evidence indicates that finerenone was associated with antihypertensive effects in hospitalized T2D patients with albuminuria. Its ability to substantially reduce BP and stabilize HR shortly after hospitalization, despite concurrent standard therapies, underscores its practical utility in managing hypertension.
