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 von Neumann architecture, due to the physical separation between memory and processor, has limited the development of data-intensive applications. Neuromorphic computing technologies inspired by the brain's parallel and event-driven operation mechanisms have enabled low-power in-memory computing. Memristors with tunable conductance can emulate biological synapses, while flexible memristors further offer mechanical flexibility, making them suitable for wearable electronics and intelligent sensing systems. This review systematically summarizes the switching mechanisms of flexible neuromorphic memristors, including conductive filaments, interface effects, ferroelectricity, phase change, and multiple synergistic mechanisms. It categorically discusses natural and bio-derived materials, synthetic organic/polymer materials, and inorganic functional materials, and introduces strategies for enhancing flexibility. The article also covers device architectures such as sandwich structures, crossbar arrays, and fiber-based textile structures, along with low-temperature fabrication techniques. Finally, it reviews recent advances in neuromorphic computing, in-memory computing, biomimetic sensing, and biomedical wearable systems. Challenges related to mechanical stability and device uniformity are analyzed, and future directions toward self-healing materials and integrated sensing-storage-computing systems are outlined. This comprehensive review bridges the gap between material innovation and system-level integration in flexible neuromorphic memristors, providing a valuable roadmap for accelerating the development of next-generation wearable artificial intelligence, edge computing, and bio-integrated electronic technologies.
