Re: Introducing OXT, a tool for Exploratory Blockchain Analysis
Nodes displayed in the graph are transactions and edges are txos (inputs/outputs).
If a txo is unspent, there's no "next" transaction. It implies that unspent outputs don't appear in the graph because an edge needs a source and a target node.

Oh, of course.
I knew there would be an explanation.
That being said, this is an issue noted in my todo list and for which I'm still looking for a good solution (in term of UX).
How about having unspent outputs show as an edge like any other, but with the destination node having radius zero, so it looks like an edge going nowhere. Then you can show the size of the unspent output using an arrow on the edge.
Edit: I think it would be useful to have the "(unspent)" displayed at all times, not only when moused over. Maybe use a darker colour like #777 or something so it's not too distracting, but still noticeable.
