Be Smart to Identify the Stroke-Like Migraine Attacks After Radiation Therapy (SMART) Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) are uncommon, often occurring years or decades after brain radiation therapy. This syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion, and only about 40 cases describing SMART have been published, each one describing a constellation of symptoms and findings. Because symptoms can arise years after initial radiation therapy, the ability of physicians to recognize SMART and rule out other possible causes of symptoms is critical for the long-term care of oncology patients who have undergone cranial radiation. Here we present the case of a 55-year-old man who experienced SMART nine years after radiation therapy and who was successfully treated with steroids.
