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

The human brain recalls complete patterns from partial cues via associative memory, but Hopfield neural networks emulating this process are inefficient on conventional hardware, and prior memristor-based implementations are vulnerable to device defects and have limited capacity, particularly for continuous patterns. We introduce a hardware-adaptive learning algorithm that incorporates experimentally calibrated device constraints during training and validate it on an integrated memristor crossbar compute-in-memory platform. The approach improves defect tolerance and effective capacity, achieving threefold higher capacity than a pseudo-inverse baseline at 50% stuck-at faults. The same framework extends to scalable multilayer architectures supporting binary and continuous-valued patterns, where we observe superlinear capacity scaling on correlated data (∝N
