What's in the histogram and in the Before panel?

In researching RT, I think I remember coming across a video that said something about the histogram being the histogram for the jpg, OR, was it that when one used the before/after toggle, the before was the jpg??? Would appreciate if someone could clear up this issue for me. Thanks.

Does this help? Editor - RawPedia
Basically, it shows the histogram of the image you are editing on screen.

So, I guess I’m off base with my assumption that when PP’ing RAW, ONLY its RAW copy with appear in Before…and no way of getting its jpg into Before???

I find it difficult to understand what you mean. You want to compare your raw to your out-of-camera JPEG in the before-after mode? That’s not possible.

Thanks for the response. So, I can’t have the OOV jpg in the Before panel while viewing its RAW in the After panel…oh. well… BTW, the reason for this question is that if i could do this, then I could easily compare the OOC to the processed RAW.
