A comprehensive framework for solution space exploration in community detection.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Community detection algorithms are essential tools for understanding complex networks, yet their results often vary between runs and are affected by node input order and the presence of outliers, undermining reproducibility and interpretation. This paper addresses these issues by introducing a framework for systematic exploration of the solution space, obtained through repeated runs of a given algorithm with permuted node orders. A Bayesian model assesses convergence, estimates solution probabilities, and provides a defensible stopping rule that balances accuracy and computational cost. Building on this process, we propose a taxonomy of solution spaces that offers clear diagnostics of partition reliability across algorithms and a shared vocabulary for interpretation. Applied to a real-world network, the approach shows that different algorithms produce various types of solution space, highlighting the importance of systematic exploration of the solutions before drawing scientific conclusions.
