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

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most important diabetic complications. DKD is also the most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease. This review focused on potential therapeutic drugs for which there is established evidence of treatment for DKD. The earliest evidence for DKD treatment was established with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors; however, their efficacy was partial. Recently, the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, including empagliflozin (EMPA-REG Outcome), canagliflozin (CREDENCE trial), and dapagliflozin (DAPA-CKD), demonstrated a significant and clinically relevant reduction in the risks of albuminuria and progression of nephropathy, doubling of serum creatinine levels, and initiation of renal replacement therapy. Additionally, incretin-based therapeutic agents, such as glucagon-like peptide 1, liraglutide (LEADER), and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, linagliptin (CARMERINA) have elicited vasotropic actions, suggesting a potential for reducing the risk of DKD. Until recently, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) have not been suitable for DKD treatment because of their adverse effect of hyperkalemia. In contrast, finerenone, a non-steroidal MRA, significantly reduced renal composite endpoint without severe hyperkalemia that would force its discontinuation (FIDELIO-DKD). Thus, the mainstay treatments of DKD are RAS inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, incretin-based therapeutic agents, and non-steroidal MRA, or in other words, the DKD "fantastic four".
