First-to-last share change: -26.6% (relative). Dynamics label: Share falling.

Terminology caveat: under a pre-frozen backup query built only from modern post-consensus terms, the CRS share change reverses (+251.0% instead of −26.6%). The apparent decline is read as terminology migration, not as a change in research volume, and is not carried as a headline conclusion. Under the primary query the share fell 8.5% → 6.3%; under the backup query it rose 1.51% → 5.31%.

First-author geography

LMIC share of parsed first-author records: 8.7% → 32.2% (this area; pooled across all 14 areas: 7.9% → 39.8%).

Terminology sensitivity

Under a pre-frozen backup query, this area's share changed +251.0% (primary query: -26.6%). The two queries do not agree on direction within a ±5% band.
