How these numbers are counted

PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:

"BCG-unresponsive"[tiab] OR ("non-muscle invasive bladder cancer"[tiab] AND (nadofaragene[tiab] OR "TAR-200"[tiab] OR cretostimogene[tiab] OR "N-803"[tiab]))

Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
