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

Non-von Neumann architectures overcome the memory-compute separation of von Neumann systems by distributing computation and memory locally, thereby reducing data-transfer bottlenecks and power consumption. These features are particularly advantageous for reinforcement learning (RL) workloads that rely on frequent value-function updates across large state-action spaces. When combined with event-driven spiking neural networks (SNNs), non-von Neumann architectures can further improve overall computational efficiency by leveraging the sparse nature of spike-based processing. In this study, we propose a hardware-feasible SNN-based non-von Neumann architecture that performs Q-learning, one of the most widely known reinforcement learning algorithms. The proposed architecture maps states and actions to individual neurons using one-hot encoding and locally stores each state-action pair's
