A nice little paper arguing that Chord diagrams are generally harder to understand than Sankney plots for the same data. Relevant for when people will next request the "nice circular diagrams" for a bioinformatics analysis: https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3544548.3581119

@modrak_m I agree that showing these side by side totally makes the point that the right (non-circular) one is much easier to describe and read. Thanks for the share
