I feel as thought both graphs with purple and green lines are accurately
explained. Were you trying to skim through the article or were you still left
confused after reading it? The top one is explained in the accompanying text
and the bottom one is explained with a labeled x and y axis and relies on the
information provided above.

If the article describes the subject adequately, what is the point of the
graphic? I found the interactive graphic more confusing than the description.

By that, I meant that the article described what the graph was representing,
not that the article described the information presented adequately. Also, I
absolutely disagree with the assumption you made that graphs shouldn't be
present if the information is presented in the article. It's good to provide
visual demonstrations when applicable in order to help clarify subjects.
