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

Non-monotonic neurons integrate monotonic input into a non-monotonic response, effectively improving the efficiency of unsupervised learning and precision of information processing in peripheral sensor systems. However, non-monotonic neuron-synapse circuits based on conventional technology require multiple transistors and complicated layouts. By leveraging the advantages of compact design for complex functions with two-dimensional materials, herein, we used anti-ambipolar transistor with airgaps configuration to fabricate the non-monotonic neuron with a bell-shaped response function. The anti-ambipolar transistor demonstrated near-ideal subthreshold swings of 60 mV/dec, a benchmark combination of a high peak-to-valley ratio of ~10
