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

Artificial Spin Ice (ASI) are promising metamaterials for neuromorphic computing, composed of interacting nanomagnets arranged in the plane. Every computing device requires the ability to transform, transmit and store information. While ASI excel at data transformation, their transmission and storage capabilities have been lacking. Here, we take inspiration from Cellular Automata, where information transmission and storage can be realised by the glider, a simple moving structure. Employing an evolutionary algorithm, we discover the snake, a glider in pinwheel ASI. The snake is controlled by a global field protocol, providing precise manipulation of a magnetic texture on the order of 100 nm. We present the snake, both in simulation and experimentally, investigate the mechanism behind its movement and its robustness to disorder. Finally, we demonstrate how the snake can be exploited for computation and memory. The snake enables the integration of information transmission, storage and transformation into one magnetic substrate, unlocking the potential for ultra-low power computing devices.
