SMARTAR: an R package for designing and analyzing Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trials.
Article in PeerJ, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This article introduces an R package, SMARTAR (Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial with Adaptive Randomization), by which clinical investigators can design and analyze a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) for comparing adaptive treatment strategies. Adaptive treatment strategies are commonly used in clinical practice to personalize healthcare in chronic disorder management. SMART is an efficient clinical design for selecting the best adaptive treatment strategy from a family of candidates. Although some R packages can help in adaptive treatment strategies research, they mainly focus on secondary data analysis for observational studies, instead of clinical trials. SMARTAR is the first R package provides functions that can support clinical investigators and data analysts at every step of the statistical work pipeline in clinical trial practice. In this article, we demonstrate how to use this package, using a real data example.
