Ultra-low-power switching circuits based on a binary pattern generator with spiking neurons.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Research on various neuro-inspired technologies has received much attention. However, while higher-order neural functions such as recognition have been emphasized, the fundamental properties of neural circuits as advanced control systems have not been fully exploited. Here, we applied the functions of central pattern generators, biological neural circuits for motor control, to the control technology of switching circuits for extremely power-saving terminal edge devices. By simply applying a binary waveform with an arbitrary temporal pattern to the transistor gate, low-power and real-time switching control can be achieved. This binary pattern generator consists of a specially designed spiking neuron circuit that generates spikes after a pre-programmed wait time in the six-order range, but consumes negligible power, with an experimental record of 1.2 pW per neuron. This control scheme has been successfully applied to voltage conversion circuits consuming only a few nanowatts, providing an ultra-low power technology for trillions of self-powered edge systems.
