I stumbled on the same issue for Neo4j 4.3 and found a passable solution.

`CALL db.schema.visualization` returns two separate lists with nodes and relationships and I suspect that this is preventing the browser from parsing the data as a graph. So I used `UNWIND` to expand them in separate rows.

```auto
CALL db.schema.visualization() YIELD nodes, relationships
UNWIND relationships as r
UNWIND nodes as n
RETURN r, n

```

Does anyone know the manual or documentation about CALL db.schema.visualization?

I want to compare this with call apoc.meta.graph([https://neo4j.com/labs/apoc/4.4/overview/apoc.meta/apoc.meta.graph/](https://neo4j.com/labs/apoc/4.4/overview/apoc.meta/apoc.meta.graph/)) because they both shows the metagraph of database but I can't find the official document about CALL db.schema.visualization.
