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

Real-time sensing and processing of tactile information are essential to enhance the capability of artificial electronic skins (e-skins), enabling unprecedented intelligent applications in tactile exploration and object manipulation. However, conventional tactile e-skin systems typically execute redundant data transfer and conversion for decision making due to their physical separation between sensors and processing units, leading to high transmission latency and power consumption. Here, we report an in-sensor tactile computing system based on a flexible capacitive pressure sensor array. This system utilizes multiple connected sensor networks to execute in-situ analog multiplication and accumulation operations, achieving both tactile sensing and computing functionalities. We experimentally implemented the in-sensor tactile computing system for low-level tactile sensory processing tasks including noise reduction and edge detection. The consumed power for single sensing-computing operation is over 22 times lower than that of a conventional mixed electronic system. These results demonstrate that our capacitive in-sensor computing system paves a promising way for power-constrained applications such as robotics and human-machine interfaces.
