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

The nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) finerenone is indicated in the United States for use in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Results from the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD Phase 3 clinical trials showed a statistically significant reduction in the risk of CKD progression and cardiovascular events with finerenone versus placebo when added to maximally tolerated dose of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker. The cardiovascular event risk reduction was primarily driven by the reduction in the risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HF). Recent results from the Phase 3 FINEARTS-HF trial in patients with HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) or HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) showed a significantly lower rate of a composite of total worsening HF events and death from cardiovascular causes with finerenone versus placebo. Further Phase 3 trials in additional HF populations are ongoing. The steroidal MRAs spironolactone and eplerenone are included in clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of symptomatic HF, but the highest class (grade 1) recommendations are in HF with reduced ejection fraction only. Based on the available evidence, finerenone presents as a new evidence-based therapy for HFpEF/HFmrEF in addition to its current application in CKD associated with T2D. The aim of our review article is to present the current evidence available on the potential kidney and cardioprotective effects of finerenone to inform healthcare professionals (particularly those who work in cardiology).
