Exemplary figures of network structures. Notes: a The network comprises four communities identified by the multilevel algorithm. The vertices represent the physicians, the edges the shared patients, and the colors the four different communities identified by the algorithm. b This figure visualizes the strength of connection between two physicians: the thickness of edges is proportional to the number of shared patients. The size of vertices depicts the centrality of the physicians: the size is proportional to the degree of the physician (the number of connections to other physicians)
