Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 2001–2023. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 6 of the 23 years between 2001 and 2023 for Democratic Republic of the Congo. The missing 17 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
