On the min-entropy of equilibrium graphs in network creation games.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
This paper investigates the Equilibrium Graph Min-Entropy (EGME) of network creation games, aiming to quantify the underlying structural complexity of equilibrium graphs formed by strategic agents. Building upon classical network creation models, we define EGME based on the probability distribution derived from each agent's social cost relative to the total social cost. Our analysis provides exact characterizations of EGME for various edge establishment cost regimes, including explicit results for small edge-cost values ([Formula: see text]) and general bounds for larger edge-cost values ([Formula: see text]). Comprehensive simulation experiments demonstrate that EGME effectively distinguishes structural variations induced by changes in network size and edge-cost parameters, exhibiting strong correlations with established global network metrics such as graph density, diameter, and betweenness centrality. These results highlight the utility of EGME as a robust measure for assessing structural complexity and network stability in strategic network formation scenarios.
