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

With increasing demand for gas sensors in mobile devices, research on developing an electronic nose (E-nose) is actively conducted. However, conventional E-nose systems based on von Neumann computing have encountered challenges such as high hardware costs and power consumption because of the necessity of hardware-intensive circuits and processors. This work implements low-power artificial olfactory neuron modules within a spiking neural network (SNN) to address this issue. The artificial olfactory neuron module is developed by connecting a GeSe-based ovonic threshold switch and a micro-light-emitting diode (μLED) platform-based semiconductor metal oxide gas sensor in series. The use of μLED gas sensors enables ultralow-power operation, resulting in substantially decreased power consumption. The artificial olfactory neuron module generates spike signals with low operation voltage, demonstrating energy efficiency and advanced performance. A real-time gas classification based on the SNN is feasibly conducted with an accuracy of 99.6%. Moreover, it is possible to classify different ingredients under humidity disturbance conditions through a hardware SNN.
