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

Many complex networks, ranging from social to biological systems, exhibit structural patterns consistent with an underlying hyperbolic geometry. Revealing the dimensionality of this latent space can disentangle the structural complexity of communities, impact efficient network navigation, and fundamentally shape connectivity and system behavior. We introduce a topological data analysis weighting scheme for graphs based on chordless cycles to estimate network dimensionality in a data-driven way. We further show that the resulting descriptors can effectively estimate network dimensionality using a neural network architecture trained on a synthetic graph database constructed for this purpose, which requires no retraining to transfer effectively to real-world networks. Thus, by combining cycle-aware filtrations, algebraic topology, and machine learning, our approach provides a robust and effective method for uncovering the hidden geometry of complex networks and guiding accurate modeling and low-dimensional embedding.
