Why the counts differ

Publications, studies and registrations are different units.

These numbers count different things. The research snapshot 2026.1.1 counts 60 human clinical publications: PubMed records, classified by publication type. Here, each reviewed study is counted once (1 in all), however many reports describe it (61 PubMed records, 1 registration, 0 other reports such as meeting abstracts outside PubMed).

Sources and method

Every assessment links its sources and keeps its full version history. Methodology · All assessments (CSV) · All study records (CSV)

These assessments describe published research. Records marked automated were produced by AI under the published methodology and have not been reviewed by a person; they can contain errors. None of this is medical advice, not a statement about any product’s safety for human use, and not a regulatory approval. Peptide Library’s vendor and partner relationships play no part in them (editorial independence).
