What type of relationship should be used in this case?

Question

Laravel

There is a model " Articles " with articles, there is a task to display related articles (for example, an article with id 1 is associated with articles with id 2 and 3), what type of relationship should be used?
That is, the type of table should be something like this, as I understand it:
id, article_id, related_id

Answer 1

return $this->belongsToMany(
    		Article::class,
    		'article_related',
    		'article_id',
    		'related_id'
    	);
