Higher-order interactions shape collective dynamics differently in hypergraphs and simplicial complexes.
Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers.
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.
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
Higher-order networks have emerged as a powerful framework to model complex systems and their collective behavior. Going beyond pairwise interactions, they encode structured relations among arbitrary numbers of units through representations such as simplicial complexes and hypergraphs. So far, the choice between simplicial complexes and hypergraphs has often been motivated by technical convenience. Here, using synchronization as an example, we demonstrate that the effects of higher-order interactions are highly representation-dependent. In particular, higher-order interactions typically enhance synchronization in hypergraphs but have the opposite effect in simplicial complexes. We provide theoretical insight by linking the synchronizability of different hypergraph structures to (generalized) degree heterogeneity and cross-order degree correlation, which in turn influence a wide range of dynamical processes from contagion to diffusion. Our findings reveal the hidden impact of higher-order representations on collective dynamics, highlighting the importance of choosing appropriate representations when studying systems with nonpairwise interactions.
