How these numbers are counted

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

"pulsed field ablation"[tiab] OR "pulsed-field ablation"[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.
