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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) represents a major public health issue; it develops in about 30%-40% of patients with diabetes mellitus and is the most common cause of CKD worldwide. Patients with CKD and T2D are at high risk of both developing kidney failure and of cardiovascular events. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers were considered the cornerstone of treatment of albuminuric CKD in T2D for more than 20 years. However, the residual risk of progression to more advanced CKD stages under RAS blockade remains high, while in major studies with these agents in patients with CKD and T2D no significant reductions in cardiovascular events and mortality were evident. Steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are known to reduce albuminuria in individuals on RAS monotherapy, but their wide clinical use has been curtailed by the significant risk of hyperkalemia and absence of trials with hard renal outcomes. In recent years, non-steroidal MRAs have received increasing interest due to their better pharmacologic profile. Finerenone, the first compound of this class, was shown to effectively reduce the progression of kidney disease and of cardiovascular outcomes in participants with T2D in phase 3 trials. This clinical practice document prepared from a task force of the European Renal Best Practice board summarizes current knowledge on the role of MRAs in the treatment of CKD in T2D aiming to support clinicians in decision-making and everyday management of patients with this condition.
