The importance these is classified according control contribution, operating revenue, reputation. latter two are also taken as proxies for access costs when utilizing nodes. Using enrichment analysis, we find that with high maintain but rarely become top drivers, whereas medium most likely further show MDSs lower used dynamics whole
