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

backgroundFinerenone, a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, has previously demonstrated its efficacy and safety in chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with diabetes mellitus. Given its therapeutic potential, finerenone has been preliminarily explored in clinical practice for non-diabetic CKD patients. The effectiveness and safety in this population require further investigation in a real-world setting.

methodsThis retrospective, real-world analysis included non-diabetic CKD patients receiving finerenone. The main clinical outcomes assessed were changes in urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Serum potassium (sK

resultsTotally, 16 patients were included. There was a notable decrease in UACR from 1-month post-treatment, with a further reduction at 3 months, resulting in a median reduction of 200.41 mg/g (IQR, 84.04-1057.10 mg/g; P = 0.028; percent change, 44.52% [IQR, 31.79-65.42%]). The average eGFR at baseline was 80.16 ml/min/1.73m

conclusionIn non-diabetic CKD patients, finerenone showed good effectiveness and safety within a 3-month follow-up period. This study provides valuable real-world evidence supporting the use of finerenone in non-diabetic CKD and highlights the need for future large-scale prospective research to further validate its efficacy.
