Review in Kidney international supplements, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05047263 (A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Multicenter Phase 3 Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of FInerenone, in Addition to Standard of Care, on the Progression of Kidney Disease in Patients With Non-Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

The recent successful demonstrations that the nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist finerenone provides effective kidney and cardiovascular (CV) protection in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes constitutes a platform for considering and implementing an array of future clinical trials in patients with nondiabetic CKD. Activation of the MR, with consequent inflammation and fibrosis, should be operative as a pathogenetic mediator not only in patients with diabetic CKD but also in those with nondiabetic kidney disease. Consequently, it is proposed that MR antagonism therapy will be equally efficacious in patients with nondiabetic CKD. Recently, a major new clinical trial has been initiated testing finerenone in patients with nondiabetic kidney disease (FIND-CKD; NCT05047263). A second clinical development program, FIONA, is dedicated to studies of finerenone in children with glomerular and nonglomerular CKD. Finally, the interrelationship of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), membrane αKlotho (hereafter called Klotho), and aldosterone may be a propitious subject for future investigation. The interplay and intersection of these seemingly disparate yet intricate relationships may unmask novel, and indeed compelling, opportunities for therapeutic interventions that are capable of interrupting the vicious cycle of excess aldosterone/MR activation and FGF23 secretion with concomitant Klotho insufficiency characteristically present in patients with CKD.
