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.

Abstract

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome is an emerging entity that connects cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease and diabetes. The non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone has been studied in three prospective randomized clinical trials of patients with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome: FIDELIO-DKD, FIGARO-DKD and FINEARTS-HF. In light of the strong epidemiological overlap and shared mechanistic drivers of clinical outcomes across cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, we summarize the efficacy and safety of finerenone on cardiovascular, kidney and mortality outcomes in this pre-specified participant-level pooled analysis. The three trials included 18,991 participants (mean age 67 ± 10 years; 35% women). During 2.9 years of median follow-up, the primary outcome of cardiovascular death occurred in 421 (4.4%) participants assigned to finerenone and 471 (5.0%) participants assigned to placebo (hazard ratio (HR): 0.89; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.78-1.01; P = 0.076). Death from any cause occurred in 1,042 (11.0%) participants in the finerenone arm and in 1,136 (12.0%) participants in the placebo arm (HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.84-0.99; P = 0.027). Finerenone further reduced the risk of hospitalization from heart failure (HR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.75-0.92; P < 0.001) and the composite kidney outcome (HR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.72-0.90; P < 0.001). While in this pooled analysis the reduction in cardiovascular death was not statistically significant, finerenone reduced the risks for deaths of any cause, cardiovascular events and kidney outcomes.
