Where this club lands
Two separate readings, because a club is two products. Each field is every iron in the database that publishes both of that chart's figures — every brand, not just Ben Hogan.
This set's 7-iron is 31° — 45th percentile, stronger-lofted than 55% of the 889 sets that publish one. The median is 32°.
Loft ladder against the field
Loft at each club in the set over the middle half (p25–p75) of every comparable iron set on record — the busiest rung here is built from 900.

A break in the line is a club the set does not publish a loft for — it is never bridged, because joining across a gap would draw a loft the manufacturer never stated. Every brand's name for the gap wedge is pooled into one rung, since only 25 of 917 sets publish two of them.

Offset
Ben Hogan M50-01 Forged Irons · 7-iron — the leading edge sits behind the line of the shaft by the published figure, drawn to the scale marked and seen from the toe, which is the one view that shows offset truly: it runs perpendicular to the face, so a picture square to the face would have it pointing at you. The outline is a nominal iron — this database holds no head geometry — so the gap the arrow spans is the only measured thing in the frame. The dashed edge is the median of the 7-iron of 580 iron sets on record that publish one.

Head geometry doesn't change with the shaft, so it's stated once. A blank cell means Ben Hogan did not publish that figure — we don't estimate.
Ben Hogan publishes offset in millimetres; the offset (in) column is that figure converted, and the record keeps Ben Hogan's own figure verbatim.

Made-for means a version built for this club, not the aftermarket shaft of the same name — a different product with different specs. We keep them as separate records and never blur the two.
Measured against comparable clubs
Where this club's published fitting specs sit among comparable clubs — never how good it is.
