510(k) · cleared510(k)A submission in which a company shows the FDA that its device works much like a device already legally on sale, so the company does not have to prove the whole thing over from scratch.Class IIClass IIThe FDA's middle-risk group, which is where most aesthetic lasers, energy devices and fillers sit, and which normally reaches the market through the 510(k) route.K192331K-numberThe reference the FDA stamps on a 510(k) submission, written like K123456, which is how you pull up the exact record for a device.

MappingCrosswalkThe mapping this site keeps between records that no single source links up, such as tying a brand name to the FDA codes and the study searches that describe the same thing.

Each row is one publication typePublication typeThe label the literature index attaches to a paper to say what kind of work it is, which is assigned by the index rather than by this site., and the rows overlap: PubMed explodes Clinical trial, so it already contains the randomised trials, and the systematic-review subset intersects Review. They do not sum to the total. Bar length is the count against this modality's own query total; rows are in the order the source file defines them, not by size.

What each modality's PubMed total is made of, by publication type. Counting study types is not a quality assessment.
