Two figures use different units and one axis is logarithmic. How should a comparison be documented?

Record format: question; proposed response; source or method; limitation. Use a dated correction only if the underlying wording or evidence changes. Record RESEARCH-04448.

Record the original units and axis transformation, show any conversion explicitly and retain the original values. Do not compare apparent visual distances across incompatible scales.
