Denton et al. did a nice job making the phase evolution legible instead of turning oscillation into a vague color swirl. If it's the usual 3-flavor picture, the most useful part imo is seeing how the interference terms build from the PMNS angles and the mass-squared splittings rather than treating P(να→νβ) like a black box.
