Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate strong reasoning ability but are constrained by outdated knowledge and hallucinations. Knowledge Graphs (KGs) can help mitigate these limitations by providing structured relational knowledge and capturing global multi-entity, multi-hop dependencies beyond linear text. However, existing KG-enhanced LLM reasoning methods mostly rely on hop-by-hop textual traversal, rather than making multi-hop decisions with a broader perspective as humans do, thus underusing the structural advantages of KGs. This leads to myopic exploration and fragmented reasoning, wasting effort on irrelevant entities while potentially missing critical ones. To address these limitations, we propose Foresight-on-Graph (FoG), a novel framework that introduces visual relation graphs to expand the reasoning horizon at each step. FoG enables Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to simultaneously attend to multi-entity, multi-hop contexts, supporting foresighted planning and more efficient graph exploration. To facilitate effective visual reasoning, we design relation-based fuzzy matching and union-find algorithms to filter out irrelevant relations and coarsen the graph, condensing subgraphs with millions of entities into compact relation graphs with only tens of nodes. Experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate that FoG consistently outperforms existing methods while significantly improving reasoning efficiency.

Recently, GraphRAG systems have achieved remarkable progress in enhancing the performance and reliability of large language models (LLMs). However, most previous benchmarks are template-based and primarily focus on few-entity queries, which are monotypic and simplistic, failing to offer comprehensive and robust assessments. Besides, the lack of ground-truth reasoning paths also hinders the assessments of different components in GraphRAG systems. To address these limitations, we propose M³GQA, a complex, diverse, and high-quality GraphRAG benchmark focusing on multi-entity queries, with six distinct settings for comprehensive evaluation. In order to construct diverse data with semantically correct ground-truth reasoning paths, we introduce a novel reasoning-driven four-step data construction method, including tree sampling, reasoning path backtracking, query creation, and multi-stage refinement and filtering. Extensive experiments demonstrate that M³GQA effectively reflects the capabilities of GraphRAG methods, offering valuable insights into the model performance and reliability. By pushing the boundaries of current methods, M³GQA establishes a comprehensive, robust, and reliable benchmark for advancing GraphRAG research.
