Farming, well water consumption, rural living, and pesticide exposure in early life as the risk factors for Parkinson disease in Igdir province.
Article in Neurosciences (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate potential risk factors for Parkinson`s disease (PD) in elderly individuals rural living in Turkey.
methodsIn total, 72 consecutive elderly Parkinson disease patients referred to the Neurology Clinic, Igdir State Hospital, Igdir, Turkey were included in the study. A structured questionnaire comprising questions on history of pastoral living, pit water consumption, and exposure to ionizing radiation and pesticides was administered to the patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups on the basis of water consumption: well water consumption group and city network consumption group.
resultsOf 72 patients with PD, 49 (68.1%) exposed to well water while 23 (31.9%) did not exposed to well water. The average duration of well water consumption was 20 (standard deviation 6) years (p less than 0.01) in group 1. Nitrate, sulfate and heavy metal levels were significantly higher in well water than in city network water (p less than 0.05).
conclusionConsumption of well water containing heavy metals and nitrates in early life may contribute to the etiology of Parkinson disease in elderly individuals in Igdir province of Turkey.
