How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
("induction of labor"[tiab] OR "induction of labour"[tiab]) AND "39 weeks"[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.
