two graphs side-by-side should work okay too. you won’t have the direct comparison, but probably doable.

And if you have 10 variables that are all different units, you probably shouldn’t put all of those on a single graph.

Trend over time would be a line; comparison a bar; the line graph looks a mess, and the bar/column doesn't depict the trend. Perhaps it take 2 graphs, but that loses the comparison factor.
