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

Tunable analog activation functions are essential for energy-efficient artificial intelligence (AI) hardware. Two transistor designs are presented: the sigmoid-like activation function transistor (SA-transistor) and the Gaussian-like activation function transistor (GA-transistor), which implement analog sigmoid and Gaussian functions using a screen gate structure. In the SA-transistor, adjusting the screen gate voltage (V
