The lines are a little misleading, because it looks like a "range". And the visual weight is hugely below zero, so it appears to show that the wage gap is hugely negative.

Separating the "equivalized" numbers into their own chart would make clear that they dance pretty evenly around both sides of zero.

(Exactly how close to zero, we are evidently supposed to guess, as you mysteriously did not include the overall average!?)

The unadjusted one is about 3% on average, so you can't state it's close to zero without mentioning the participation issue
