Fig 5
Complementary Cumulative Distribution Functions (CCDFs) of the number of studies with a specific MSM score between August 2016 and July 2018 (N = 4,186).
A) CCDFs and power law fits for the share of studies with a certain MSM score for the last two years of the study period (N = 2,213 for the number of SIPs from August 2016 to July 2017 and N = 1,973 for August 2017 to July 2018). While the power law fit is a good representation of the data up to values of around 150, there is a steep drop-off in the tail. B) CCDF and power law fit for aggregated data from panel A).
