The effect of resistance training on physical function is associated with changes in serum albumin redox state in middle-aged and older Japanese adults: a Quasi-experimental 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
Background: Resistance training is important for improving physical function in middle-aged and older adults. The fraction of mercaptoalbumin in total serum albumin, represented as f(HMA), is an indicator of physical function and protein nutritional status in humans. However, it is unclear whether the effects of resistance training on physical function are associated with changes in f(HMA). This study was aimed at examining the relationship between f(HMA) and the effects of resistance training in healthy middle-aged and older Japanese adults. Methods: The study included 43 healthy community dwelling middle-aged and elderly individuals (10 males and 33 females, aged 67.3 ± 8.0 years). They were engaged in a low-load, body-weight-based resistance training program using an elastic band twice a week for 12 weeks under supervision. Anthropometric data, 6-meter gait speed, blood biochemistry, and dietary macronutrient intake were collected before and after the training intervention. The relationships between serum nutritional parameters and gait speed or their rate of change were examined using multivariate linear regression analysis. Results: Before intervention, f(HMA) showed a significant positive correlation with the usual ( Conclusion: Serum f(HMA) increased with improvements in physical function through resistance training in middle-aged and older adults.
