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

Understanding the resistive switching (RS) mechanisms in memristive devices is crucial for developing non-volatile memory technologies. Here, we investigate the memristor effect in hydrothermally grown Au-nanoseeded CuO films. Based on I-V measurements, conductive-AFM, S/TEM, and EDS analyses, we examine the changes within the switching layer associated with RS. Our results reveal a filamentary mechanism of RS. Notably, EDS mapping shows directional Au redistribution between the bottom nanoseeds and the top electrode, while Cu and O remain uniformly distributed. These findings support an electrochemical metallization (ECM)-like filamentary mechanism driven by Au species migration. The use of Au-nanoseeds, required by the solution-based growth method, critically affects filament formation and RS behavior. Our results emphasize the importance of microstructure and electrode-oxide interfaces in determining the switching mechanism in oxide-based memristors.
