Exercise-induced changes in plasma S-Klotho levels are associated with the obtained enhancements of heart rate variability in sedentary middle-aged adults: the FIT-AGEING study.

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.
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 shed form of the Klotho protein (S-Klotho) is considered a biomarker of longevity, but it is still unknown whether the levels are related to heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV); both of them greatly influenced by the ageing process, physical fitness, exercise, and health status. This study aimed (i) to investigate the association between S-Klotho plasma levels with HR and HRV parameters and (ii) to examine the association of exercise-induced changes in S-Klotho and those obtained in HR and HRV parameters after a 12-week exercise intervention in sedentary middle-aged adults. Sixty-six sedentary middle-aged adults participated in this study (50% women; 45-65 years old). Participants were randomized into 4 groups: (a) a control group (no exercise), (b) a physical activity recommendation from the World Health Organization group, (c) a high-intensity interval training group, and (d) a high-intensity interval training group adding whole-body electromyostimulation. S-Klotho plasma levels, HR, and HRV parameters (SDNN, RMSSD, high frequency, stress score, and sympathetic/parasympathetic ratio) were measured. At baseline, S-Klotho plasma levels were not related to HR and HRV parameters. After the intervention, exercise-induced changes in S-Klotho plasma levels were positively associated with changes in SDNN (β=0.261; R
