It looks like this is too underpowered to get anything out of this. The 95% CI is 1.02-1.7. Considering that the great majority of statistical tests in studies like this have null results (but usually aren't reported), there is a very good, possibly more than 50% chance, that this is bogus.
I've basically stopped paying attention to studies like this. In replication studies in medicine and psychology, these kind of fishing expeditions have a very low chance of being successfully replicated.
