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

The demand for deep human-machine fusion propels the development of artificial neurons. However, emulating the neuronal spiking in aqueous environments remains challenging. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently shown promise in neuromorphic engineering compatible with aqueous operation. Here, we report a MOF neuron with real neurotransmitter-dopamine (DA)-tunable spikes for the first time. Based on the DA mediation, some sophisticated neuronal functions, including integration-and-firing, synaptic facilitation-induced spike broadening and DA-tunable spiking number and width, were mimicked. DA-mediated spikes in this MOF neuron were further implemented to exquisitely control peripheral equipment. This work introduces the concept of a MOF neuron interfaced with a real neurotransmitter in fluids, providing a new perspective for artificial neuron development.
