An ion-electronic hybrid artificial neuron with a widely tunable frequency.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Biological nervous systems rely on distinct spiking frequencies across a wide range for perceiving, transmitting, processing, and executing information. Replicating this frequency range in an artificial neuron would facilitate the emulation of biosignal diversity but it remains challenging. Here, we develop an ion-electronic hybrid artificial neuron by compactly integrating a nonlinear electrochemical element with a solid-state memristor. This hybrid neuron employing a minimalist architecture exhibits a tunable spiking frequency spanning five orders of magnitude, significantly surpassing the capability of artificial neurons based on electronic devices. Notably, stimuli-dependent ion fluxes enable inherent afferent sensing of liquid flow, temperature, and chemical constituents, eliminating the need for separate, bulky sensors. Connection to biomotor nerves facilitates muscle actuation with frequency-regulated modes. The frequency encoding of a hybrid neuron array allows for the recognition of handwritten patterns. This hybrid neuron design, taking advantage of both ionic and electronic features, offers a promising approach for advanced e-skin and neurointerface technologies.
