[Infovis] evaluation of the visual approach to detect connections in a dataset?

[Clement Levallois]

Dear list members,

I am looking for papers discussing if / how visualization helps detecting
connections in a dataset.
For instance, a discussion of how fast / accurately the most connected
actor is detected in a dataset of relations in a social network, when this
dataset is presented as a visual network as compared to just showing the
raw, numerical source (this is just an example, I'd be interested in papers
discussing similar situations as well).

Thanks,

Clement
