How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"vascularized composite allotransplant*"[tiab] OR "face transplant*"[tiab] OR "hand transplant*"[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.
