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

Ternary Optical Computer (TOC) is unique in the development of optical computers, in terms of principle, experiment, algorithm and application. After 20 years of development, six generations of prototypes have been developed. At present, tri-state optical signal storage is the main problem faced by TOC. According to the characteristics of tri-state optical signals and the ternary optical processor's special requirements for storage systems, we design and implement the interface structure of TOC memory system, including the overall structure of the interface, the address generation module for memory access, the data input and output channels, the read/write timing, and the working process of the memory interface. Finally, the correctness of the memory system interface design is verified by the experiments, which are carried out on FPGA, of reading and writing operational result data of the SD16 TOC prototype. This work tries to improve the theoretical system and practical basis of TOC.
