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 novel non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, has shown promising efficacy and safety profiles in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, evidence for its role in non-diabetic CKD patients require further investigation.

methodsThis retrospective, real-world study involved non-diabetic CKD patients from April 2023 to June 2024. Participants received finerenone alongside standard CKD treatment. Primary clinical results included changes in the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and serum potassium (sK

resultsIn total, 37 non-diabetic CKD patients were included in the population; 21 individuals (56.8%) were male, and the mean age was 48.84 ± 14.69 years. During the follow-up, there was a notable decrease in UACR, with a median reduction of 664.95 mg/g (IQR, 196.60-1226.70, P = 0.002). The baseline average eGFR was 70.80 ± 27.97 mL/min/1.73m

conclusionReal-world practice indicates that finerenone is effective and safe for non-diabetic CKD patients, but further large-scale, prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
