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

To enhance the computational density and energy efficiency of on-chip neuromorphic hardware, this study introduces a novel network architecture for multi-task processing with in-memory optical computing. On-chip optical neural networks are celebrated for their capability to transduce a substantial volume of parameters into optical form while conducting passive computing, yet they encounter challenges in scalability and multitasking. Leveraging the principles of transfer learning, this approach involves embedding the majority of parameters into fixed optical components and a minority into adjustable electrical components. Furthermore, with deep regression algorithm in modeling physical propagation process, a compact optical neural network achieve to handle diverse tasks. In this work, two ultra-compact in-memory diffraction-based chips with integration of more than 60,000 parameters/mm
