Why Ratio Measures (HR/OR/RR) Require a Logarithmic Axis
Hazard Ratios, Odds Ratios, and Relative Risks are multiplicative symmetric around 1.0 (e.g., HR = 0.50 and HR = 2.00 represent equal magnitude in opposite directions). Plotting ratio estimates on a linear scale visually distorts upper confidence limits; top medical journals strictly require logarithmic horizontal scaling with inverse-variance weighted markers.
