In the vertical bar chart, each bar displays the Average Wait Time for 1st Review with x-Axis showing the date and the y-axis showing "Time in Hours".

The Average Wait Time for a selected time period can be computed by summing up the time it took for the first review for all PRs, divided by the number of pull requests and results displayed in minutes/hours/days.

Each data point on the chart represents the average wait time for the first review during that specific time period.
