Screening for intermediate CGG alleles of FMR1 gene in male Iranian patients with Parkinsonism.

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
Male carriers of an expansion of CGG alleles (with 55-200 CGG repeats) in the FMR1 gene are affected with Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). On the other hand, individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) or Parkinsonism spectrum disorders may have some clinical features that overlap with FXTAS. To investigate the possible association between PD and FMR1 expanded alleles, we screened a total of 154 male PD patients and 190 gender- and age-matched healthy control subjects from Iran. Eleven intermediate allele carriers (7.14 %) were detected among PD patients, compared with three carriers (1.57 %) among the controls (P = 0.01). No pre-mutation carriers were identified. Our results indicate that there is a potential association between FMR1 intermediate expanded alleles and PD.
