Soluble alpha-klotho and 25-hydroxivitamin D are not associated with brown adipose tissue metabolism in young healthy adults.

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
backgroundSoluble Alpha-Klotho (S-αklotho) protein and 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) have emerged as potential modulators for activating and recruiting Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT). The present study aimed to investigate whether circulating S-αklotho and 25-OH-D levels are related to BAT volume,
methodsA total of 128 participants (68% women) aged 18-25 years old participated in this cross-sectional study. Serum levels of S-αklotho were determined by a solid-phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit and 25-OH-D serum levels were analyzed using a competitive chemiluminescence immunoassay, both in blood samples collected after an overnight fast. All participants underwent a personalized cold exposure to determine their BAT volume,
resultsAfter adjusting for multiple covariates, serum levels of S-αklotho (all R
conclusionSerum S-αklotho and 25-OH-D levels within the physiological range are not related to BAT-related variables in young healthy adults. Further studies are needed to fully understand the underlying mechanisms involved in BAT metabolism in humans. (ACTIBATE; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: not applicable).
