How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"body contouring"[tiab] OR "massive weight loss"[tiab] OR ("GLP-1"[tiab] AND "plastic surgery"[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.
