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

Biological systems excel in image recognition with low power and fast responses. Inspired by the human eye, researchers have developed solid-state artificial visual systems. In this study, a retinomorphic artificial synapse device based on a tungsten diselenide (WSe2)/indium arsenide quantum dot (InAs QD) heterostructure is developed. This device exhibits enhanced short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) responsivity at 1060 nm, which is a synaptic behavior analogous to the human retina. The WSe2/InAs QD improves charge transport and photon absorption through the quantum confinement effects of InAs QDs, facilitating efficient SWIR detection. The heterojunction enables effective electron-hole pair separation, enhancing the photodetector performance. The device adapts to SWIR signal pulses like the human eye to light flicker. The WSe₂/InAs QD device demonstrates significantly higher responsivity and a superior ability to emulate a wide range of synaptic properties compared to previously reported Si-based and 2D material/QD-based devices. An artificial neural network trained on the Fashion MNIST dataset achieved over 85% accuracy, which is higher than previous reports. This showcases the potential of retina-inspired SWIR optoelectronic devices for compact, efficient machine vision and in-sensor computing. This study underscores the potential of integrating QDs with 2D materials to create advanced photodetectors that mimic biological sensory functions.
