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

Numerous attempts have been made to emulate the skin's multimodal capabilities using different device architectures, but most suffer from slow response due to reactive components and limited scalability from stacking multiple elements, which restricts their practical use. Here we report a multimodal receptor based on a single memristive nanowire network that captures both thermal and mechanical properties of interacting objects through memristive switching. The device switches between thermal and mechanical sensing at 16 Hz, whereas its intrinsic response times reach submicrosecond (mechanical) and millisecond (thermal) levels due to the nanoscale thickness. To demonstrate practicality, we integrated the receptor with a wireless switching board for daily use, combined it with a machine learning model to identify 20 household objects with 83% accuracy using a single fingertip-mounted sensor, and performed multiarray measurements for spatially distributed sensing. This approach highlights the potential of memristive networks for compact and versatile multimodal sensing in wearable and interactive devices.
