Stroke-Like Migraine Attacks After Radiation Therapy (SMART) Syndrome Presenting With Recurrent Seizures: A Case Study.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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) syndrome is a rare, delayed complication of radiation therapy to the brain. We present a case of a 49-year-old female with a past medical history of malignant neoplasm of the brain status following resection and radiation. She initially presented with increased work of breathing. Initial labs and a chest X-ray were suggestive of aspiration pneumonia leading to sepsis. Upon hospitalization, seizure-like activity was noted. Electroencephalogram showed electrographic seizures originating from the left occipital and parietal lobe. She received numerous medications to control the seizures with minimal improvement. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to characterize the origin of seizures, which showed extensive post-radiation changes including a new meningioma. The patient was subsequently managed with magnesium and Solu Medrol. After this regimen, her condition improved and there were no clinical seizures present.
