How these numbers are counted

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

eGFR[tiab] AND (race[tiab] OR "race-free"[tiab] OR "CKD-EPI 2021"[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.
