Fig. 3

A graphical summary of various key visualizations and associated analyses possible using NetConfer. Panel 1 shows graphs pertaining to the Workflows Dashboard, while panel 2 depicts the graphical results offered by the Visualization Dashboard of NetConfer. In panel 1, figure (a) is a typical layout of the Edge-Jaccard index-based network dendogram containing selectable (checkbox) nodes; (b) represents the grouped bar chart-based “global property preview” generated, immediately after submission of various network files to NetConfer; (c) highlights the upset plot offered in NetConfer for set-similarity analysis (classical Venn diagrams are also offered as alternative); (d) represents the novel yet simple visualization approach for tracing shortest paths for a given pair of source and target nodes across networks of interest; (e) depicts the novel Sankey-heatmap coupled community transition visualization designed for tracing the changes in community memberships and centrality measure of the members between a given pair of networks; and (f) represents the tabulated visualization of communities observed in all uploaded networks, wherein nodes of interest can be searched, highlighted, and visualized in the main network as well. Cliques are also visualized using the same method(s), (g–k) represent visualization of the community of interest in various networks. In panel 2, figure (a) represents visualization of network graph in various layouts offered by NetConfer, (b) depicts the union visualization method adopted by NetConfer using pie-nodes and multi-colored edges, and (c) represents a radar chart showing relative distances of a set of selected networks from their union network
