Return only one instance of a node

General Newbie Questions

I'm not really sure how to ask this. I have a graph in which there are multiple paths between nodes. If I use the syntax below, neo4j will return a value for each node pair and each path between the node pairs. I only want it to return one value per node pair, how do I do that?

MATCH (a)--(b:Item)--()--(d) WHERE id(a)=4 RETURN d.Name

You would need to use DISTINCT RETURN - Cypher Manual see if that works for you and welcome to the community!
