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) is the most common co-morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its presence substantially amplifies the risk for premature death, adverse cardiovascular events, and faster progression of kidney injury to kidney failure. For nearly two decades, the pharmacological blockade of the renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) was the only pillar of therapy to afford cardiorenal protection in these patients. During the last 5 years, newer novel therapies have been added to our therapeutic armamentarium, offering promise for more effective management of diabetic kidney disease in the future. Large phase 3 clinical trials have demonstrated additive cardiorenal protective benefits of sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, the non-steroidal mineralocorticoid-receptor-antagonist (MRA) finerenone, and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) semaglutide relative to placebo in patients with albuminuric CKD and T2D who are receiving standard-of-care treatment with a RAS-blocker. These therapies are likely much more effective when administered in a combined therapeutic algorithm, but the potential additive effects of combination therapy remain to be established in ongoing clinical trials. In this article, we assemble four pillars of therapy for the attenuation of residual cardiorenal risk in patients with CKD associated with T2D. We provide evidence from recent randomized trials and we discuss the concept of combined treatment for maximal cardiorenal protection in this high-risk patient population.
