Is there any real data that racetams work?

I see a ton of anecdotal evidence evidence on the racetams.
I've scoured the internet and the best I've seen is one piracetam study on dyslexic patients being effective. This study had an extremely small sample size. There isn't near the data caffeine and nicotine has documenting it's effectiveness, and that's fine. However, most of the studies I've seen showed no effect.
I've tried piracetam a few times and always felt it just made me dumber.
So I humbly ask you, /r/nootropics what data do you have that it works?
If you don't have the data, what makes you continue to take it. How do you know it isn't a placebo?
