1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report on memsensors, a class of two terminal devices that combines features of memristive and sensor devices. Apart from a pinched hysteresis (memristive property) and stimulus dependent electrical resistance (sensing property) further properties like dynamic adaptation to an external stimulus emerge. We propose a three component equivalent circuit to model the memsensor electrical behaviour. In this model we find stimulus dependent hysteresis, a delayed response to the sensory signal and adaptation. Stimulus dependent IV hysteresis as a fingerprint of a memsensor device is experimentally shown for memristive ZnO microrods. Adaptation in memsensor devices as found in our simulations resembles striking similarities to the biology. Especially the stimulus dependency of the IV hysteresis and the adaptation to external stimuli are superior features for application of memsensors in neuromorphic engineering. Based on the simulations and experimental findings we propose design rules for memsensors that will facilitate further research on memsensitive systems.
