Research direction

Start by tracing how variables are selected and plotted, then identify where scale transformations and displayed labels are handled. Review any existing visualization tests or examples, and consider the work complete when a variable can use a log scale while clinic-facing values remain interpretable and the existing display behavior is preserved.

Description

enhancement

Some parameters, such as UACR, are better displayed on log scale. Currently, one workaround is to pre-transform the values to log(UACR) and display that variable. The problem with that is that the values displayed are not easy to interpret by the clinics. Proposed solution is add the possibility of showing some variables with a log-scale transformation, without the need to pre-transform the data.
