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

Emerging flexible and wearable electronic systems require high-density, low-power circuits that can seamlessly integrate with soft substrates. Monolithic 3D (M3D) integration using 2D semiconductors offers a compelling route in fulfilling these requirements by enabling vertical stacking without compromising mechanical compliance. However, current M3D approaches utilizing 2D semiconductors often require high-temperature processing or transfer steps that hinder their scalability on flexible substrates. Herein, we present a low-temperature M3D integration strategy based on 2D semiconductor inks, which is enabled by a tailored anion-cation doping approach for precise carrier control in n- and p-type devices. Our methodology yields vertically assembled complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor circuits - including inverters, logic, and photosensor-integrated gates, and ring oscillators (ROs) - fabricated entirely at ≤150 °C. Notably, the inverters exhibit a voltage gain up to 462 at a supply voltage of 4 V, and the 5-stage ROs can operate at a maximum oscillation frequency of 13.5 kHz. Beyond their electrical performances, the circuits display robust mechanical stabilities, conforming to curved surfaces, and excellent skin compatibilities. This study reports a scalable, low-temperature platform for the fabrication of M3D electronics in wearable low-power neuromorphic computing systems and bio-integrated electronics.
