I am from one of the team in our big product development team which is having nearly 10+ teams. There are good number of instances where one story under one Project is having dependencies with multiple stories spanned across multiple teams. So as a Scrum Master, I would like to get the below details in a single shot using a neat dependency relation diagram:

1. upstream dependency details
2. downstream dependency details
3. team details which our dependent story belongs to
4. status of that dependent story with respect to no. of hours left out and it's state.
5. representation of next level dependency in case our dependent story is waiting on any other story.
6. Forecasting details like when all these dependencies can be resolved based on current statistics / metric data associated with the dependent stories.

Advantages I found with this kind of data:
1. I can save my stand up meeting time to get the full details of dependent stories.
2. I can send a neat report on state of dependencies to remaining teams.
3. Forecasting details may help me in multiple perspectives to make our deliverables on time.
