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

Electronic memristors have greatly advanced artificial synapse research, but their reliance on electron transport, which differs intrinsically from the ion-mediated signaling and spatiotemporal dynamics of biological synapses. Here, we present wrinkle-based, geometry-tunable nanochannels integrated within a hybrid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-OSTEMER chip as a simple, low-cost, and reproducible platform for ionic memory. Exploiting the modulus mismatch between PDMS and OSTEMER, nanoscale wrinkles were selectively preserved only within the designated bridge region, forming a controllable array of nanochannels that govern ionic transport. By tailoring the number and length of these nanochannels, ionic conduction and memory characteristics could be precisely modulated. The resulting wrinkle-based nanochannel array device (WNAD) exhibited pronounced memristive hysteresis and effectively emulated key synaptic plasticity behaviors, including short-term plasticity (STP), paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), and reproducible potentiation-depression cycles. Moreover, the WNAD reproduced cumulative reinforcement under repeated stimulation, demonstrating geometry-dependent memory consolidation analogous to biological conditioning. Collectively, this study established wrinkle-based nanochannels as a bioinspired nanofluidic platform for ionic memory, bridging confined ionic transport and neuromorphic functionality.
