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

Major breakthroughs in artificial intelligence software have led to significant transformations across various aspects of life. However, hardware development has lagged behind, primarily due to the inherent constraints of the von Neumann architecture. Although neuromorphic devices that utilize biomimetic parallel and analog computations have emerged, they still face limitations in reducing computational load. Therefore, this study proposes a light-voltage dual-modulating synaptic transistor that can significantly lower computational load through device-level computing. This is realized using a hybrid structure of indium-gallium-zinc-oxide and InAs quantum dots, which enable two distinct memory effects ‒ one induced by light and the other by voltage ‒ within a single device. These dual-modulation capabilities are leveraged to demonstrate traffic signal optimization using a Dueling Deep Q-Network, achieving computation performance comparable to ideal software conditions. These findings highlight the potential of the fabricated device for realizing computing systems that require high energy efficiency and computational density.
