  "title": "Visible funding does not always arrive with a matched trial.",
  "question": "Among fields with direct official grant records, how many also have registered clinical trials?",
  "observation": "Direct official grant records appeared in 120 fields; 92 of those fields also had a matched trial registration and 28 did not.",
  "meaning": "The snapshot shows where funding and clinical-development activity coexist at field level—and where they do not yet meet in the index.",
  "limitations": "This does not show that a grant funded a particular trial, caused a result, measured total spending or established scientific impact.",
  "scope": "Direct-grant records and topic-level evidence layers in the DOI-backed snapshot observed on 4 October 2026.",
