The graph is titled “Quadratic Effect of Network Centrality (N C superscript 2)”. The horizontal axis is labeled “Network Centrality (N C)”, ranging from 0 to 10 in increments of 2. The vertical axis is labeled “Effect on Outcome” ranging from negative 5.0 to 10.0 in increments of 2.5. A single curved line labeled “Quadratic Effect” forms an inverted U shape. The curve starts near an effect value of about 1 at N C equal to 0, increases steadily as N C increases, and reaches a maximum value close to 10 at around N C equal to 4.23. This peak point is marked with a “x” labeled “Inflection Point (4.23)”. After this point, the curve declines as network centrality increases further. The effect decreases gradually, crossing near 0 around N C between 8 and 9, and continues downward to negative 6.5 at N C equal to 10. Note: All the numeric values are approximated.Quadratic effect of network centrality
