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

In the exploration of materials for neuromorphic computing, Graphene Oxide (GO) stands out as a promising organic candidate due to its low-cost fabrication, flexibility, and tunable chemical properties. However, the underlying mechanisms of resistive switching in GO remain unclear. We believe that previous studies may have undervalued the role of GO as the resistive switching medium, focusing instead on various metallic electrodes. In this study, we designed experiments to pinpoint the origin of resistive switching in Graphene Oxide-based Resistive Switching Random Access Memories (RRAM). To investigate the resistive switching mechanisms, we fabricated GO-based RRAMs with three different levels of oxidation: high (3), medium (1.5), and low (0.5). Comparisons using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed successful adjustments in functional groups, which are expected to play a role in the resistive switching phenomena within GO. The devices created demonstrated stable SET/RESET cycles, with an endurance of 10² cycles and a retention time of 10⁴ seconds. Modifying the oxidation levels unveiled forming-free and analog resistive switching capabilities for the GO(1.5) devices, accompanied by minimal variability—an essential feature for neuromorphic computing. Furthermore, the overshoot transition during the SET process exhibited a slope that was 2.5 times lower for the GO(1.5) RRAM, which is crucial for linear synaptic evolution. We also observed a direct correlation between the Ion/Ioff ratio and oxidation concentration, indicating that oxygen-based functional groups within the GO layers are key components in the resistive switching behavior of these devices. In conclusion, we propose a multifilamentary mechanism for resistive switching that accounts for the differing electrical characteristics of medium and highly oxidized GO-RRAMs.
