How these numbers are counted

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

("cancer-associated thrombosis"[tiab] OR ("venous thromboembolism"[tiab] AND cancer[tiab])) AND (apixaban[tiab] OR rivaroxaban[tiab] OR edoxaban[tiab] OR DOAC*[tiab] OR "direct oral anticoagulant*"[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.
