Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that medical research has historically relied mostly on male participants and male animal models?

Yes. A peer-reviewed review of sex bias in biomedical research reports that female mammals have long been neglected and that male bias was evident in 8 of 10 biological fields, with single-sex male animal studies outnumbering female ones 5.5 to 1. A separate NIH-related recommendation piece also calls for balancing the sex of cells and animals in preclinical research, indicating prior male skew.
