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

Flow-weighted networks are widespread in real-world systems, capturing the essence of flow interactions among various entities. Examples are food webs, social networks, transportation systems, and financial transactions. These networks are vulnerable to degradation when subjected to disturbances, often triggering cascading failures that severely impact their functionality. Despite their importance and recent advancements, the underlying mechanisms driving network degradation-from functional to dysfunctional states due to structural changes-remain poorly understood. In this study, we present a resilience analysis framework for flow-weighted networks. Our approach begins with constructing a hypergraph that encodes cascading failures through hyperedges. We then apply percolation theory to examine phase transitions and identify stable hyper-motifs throughout the degradation process. Our numerical simulations demonstrate that this framework discovers the Black Swan nodes in flow-weighted networks and provides a comprehensive resilience assessment. Our resilience analysis framework offers theoretical support for enhancing network resilience, suppressing rumor spread, preventing economic collapses, reducing traffic congestion, and improving ecological stability-ultimately fostering a more resilient and sustainable society.
