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

In-sensor processing of dynamic and static information of visual objects avoids exchanging redundant data between physically separated sensing and computing units, holding promise for computer vision hardware. To this end, gate-tunable photodetectors, if built in a highly scalable array form, would lend themselves to large-scale in-sensor visual processing because of their potential in volume production and hence, parallel operation. Here we present two scalable in-sensor visual processing arrays based on dual-gate silicon photodiodes, enabling parallelized event sensing and edge detection, respectively. Both arrays are built in CMOS compatible processes and operated with zero static power. Furthermore, their bipolar analog output captures the amplitude of event-driven light changes and the spatial convolution of optical power densities at the device level, a feature that helps boost their performance in classifying dynamic motions and static images. Capable of processing both temporal and spatial visual information, these retinomorphic arrays suggest a path towards large-scale in-sensor visual processing systems for high-throughput computer vision.
