For the New York Times, Lazaro Gamio, Blacki Migliozzi, and River Akira Davis use a Sankey diagram to show the breakdown of oil and gas that flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
The layout for the story works well. It starts with the origin countries, sized by the percentage of energy through the strait. A pause in the middle at the strait shows the full amount, which then splits into where the oil exports to. Red text notes disruptions.
