We give some new insights into the effective Majorana neutrino mass [Formula: see text] responsible for the neutrinoless double-beta [Formula: see text] decays. We put forward a three-dimensional way of plotting [Formula: see text] against the lightest neutrino mass and the Majorana phases, which can provide more information as compared with the two-dimensional one. With the help of such graphs we discover a novel threshold of [Formula: see text] in terms of the neutrino masses and flavor mixing angles: [Formula: see text] in connection with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which can be used to signify observability of the future [Formula: see text]-decay experiments. Fortunately, the possibility of [Formula: see text] turns out to be very small, promising a hopeful prospect for the [Formula: see text]-decay searches.
