User questions on making sense of the stats page
Description
A domain expert user has trouble making sense of the stats page. Let's address the points and ensure the stats page communicates clearly.
I could do with some help understanding the statistics page. For instance I thought WHO had the biggest set of trials. But what does the deduplicated column mean? Is it actually there are 84,315 duplicate trials out of 369,265 trials in total (meaning they have 369,265-84,315 = 284,950 trials?
Also, there are loads of duplicates between WHO and CT.gov - how's that displayed?
Tasks
- [ ] TBD
@vitorbaptista I unassigned myself from this because I'm not sure what to do.
After looking into it my opinion is that we should rename Deduplicated trials to Trials and All trials to Records and explain in the docs or even in the stats page the relation between them.
The way they are displayed now is indeed very confusing because one can infer that there are 284302 duplicated trials on WHO ICTRP which is a wrong inference. Most of those "duplicated" trials are actually "duplicated" between sources (redundant) and not within each source. Based on this, another idea is to have 3 columns: All trials, Unique trials, Redundant trials for each source.
