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

A highly effective method for creating a supramolecular metallogel of Ni(II) ions (NiA-TA) has been developed in our work. This approach uses benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid as a low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) in DMF solvent. Rheological studies assessed the mechanical properties of the Ni(II)-metallogel, revealing its angular frequency response and thixotropic behaviour. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed a complex rocky network structure, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) identified rod-shaped formations. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping confirmed the chemical composition, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) alongside X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) provided insights into the metallogel's formation mechanism. Schottky diode structures which were fabricated with this Ni(II)-metallogel exhibited notable charge transport properties. Moreover, resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices using NiA-TA demonstrated bipolar resistive switching with an ON/OFF ratio of ~ 110 and durability over 5000 cycles. In this work, logic gate circuits were designed using a 2 × 2 crossbar array. This work highlights the potential of Ni(II)-metallogels for non-volatile memory, neuromorphic computing, flexible electronics, and optoelectronics. Their easy fabrication, reliable switching, and stability make them promising candidates for advanced technologies, offering new opportunities for in-memory computing.
