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

Neuromorphic computing using nonvolatile memories is expected to tackle the memory wall and energy efficiency bottleneck in the von Neumann system and to mitigate the stagnation of Moore's law. However, an ideal artificial neuron possessing bio-inspired behaviors as exemplified by the requisite leaky-integrate-fire and self-reset (LIFT) functionalities within a single device is still lacking. Here, we report a new type of spiking neuron with LIFT characteristics by manipulating the magnetic domain wall motion in a synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) heterostructure. We validate the mechanism of Joule heating modulated competition between the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction and the built-in field in the SAF device, enabling it with a firing rate up to 17 MHz and energy consumption of 486 fJ/spike. A spiking neuron circuit is implemented with a latency of 170 ps and power consumption of 90.99 μW. Moreover, the winner-takes-all is executed with a current ratio >10
