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 rapid growth of artificial intelligence models has outpaced the capabilities of current dynamic random-access memory/flash storage systems in speed, density and energy efficiency. Three-dimensional phase-change memory offers a scalable solution, yet cross-point integration is limited by selector performance. Here, by reverse-tracing previously reported ovonic threshold switch (OTS) materials, we identify amorphous elemental selenium as a highly effective OTS selector. It exhibits an ultralow leakage current (4 × 10
