The authors interpret the bounds on the error in the normal approximation of sums of independent random variables introduced by \textit{C. Stein} [Approximate computation of expectations. IMS-Lect. Notes (1986)] in terms of dependency graphs. In this manner they improve a central limit theorem of \textit{M. B. Petrovskaya} and \textit{A. M. Leontovich} [Theory Probab. Appl. 27, 815-825 (1982; Zbl 0559.60069)]. They also obtain bounds on the rate of convergence.
