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

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a multifaceted, systemic disorder characterized by the interplay of cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and obesity. This review synthesizes current and emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at addressing the shared pathophysiologic mechanisms driving CKM progression, such as insulin resistance, inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurohormonal activation. Established pharmacotherapies that include sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists like finerenone have demonstrated robust efficacy in reducing cardiovascular events, slowing renal decline, and improving metabolic outcomes. Additionally, novel agents targeting lipoprotein(a), interleukin-6, and hepatic fat accumulation are expanding the therapeutic landscape. RNA-based therapies, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), are designed to modulate lipoprotein(a) and PCSK9 expression. Artificial intelligence (AI) is also emerging as a transformative tool for personalized CKM management, enhancing risk prediction and clinical decision-making. The review highlights the relevance of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) as a CKM modifier and discusses the approval of resmetirom, a selective thyroid hormone receptor β agonist, for noncirrhotic MASH. By integrating evidence from clinical trials, mechanistic studies, and emerging technologies, this review provides a comprehensive resource for clinicians and researchers navigating the evolving field of CKM syndrome.
