## Pagination and paging mechanics

- `pageSize` silently clamps to 1000: requesting 1001 returns HTTP 200 with exactly 1000 studies, no error, warning, or truncation flag [obj_01M4CZ9WQZ8WM8068DG3FVW89H].
- `pageToken` is a strict opaque cursor — a malformed token is a hard 400 plain-text error, never silently treated as the start of the result set [obj_01M4CZA0P52XJ5NEYTE8HAHMQC].
- `countTotal=true` controls whether the `totalCount` key exists in the response at all; it is omitted entirely (not null or zero) when the flag is left off [obj_01M4CZ9YKY45F3WQ6E3N4SEH3A].
- `GET /stats/size` is a meta endpoint reporting total study count and a full percentile distribution of per-study JSON payload byte size [obj_01M4CZAEE3VCANHAA4TMPA0TK6].

## Field selection and output format

- `fields=` selects by flat piece names (`NCTId`, `BriefTitle`) but the response keeps the full nested module tree pruned to just those leaves; an unrecognized name is a 400 [obj_01M4CZA2Q2201VJ977J003NMMS].
- `format=csv` uses an entirely different column-name vocabulary from the JSON `fields=` piece names; mixing the two vocabularies is a 400 [obj_01M4CZA4NXH6GHAHZYEPDQD0ZA].

## Filtering and search

- `filter.overallStatus` values are case-sensitive, all-caps enum constants; lowercase or unrecognized values are a hard 400, never silently ignored [obj_01M4CZA6JHR5A4YEXMDV67SWY8].
- Structured `query.cond`/`query.intr` field-scopes matches more narrowly than free-text `query.term` with the same words AND'd together; the `AREA[Field]RANGE[...]` bracket syntax works inside `query.term` for date-range filtering [obj_01M4CZAGAYQWBM1RG8RNPSXPZW].

## Single-record endpoint behavior

- `GET /studies/{nctId}`: a real NCT id returns the full study at 200; a well-formed but nonexistent NCT id is a plain-text 404 naming the id, not a JSON error [obj_01M4CZA8HAQDD0M0SCYB4F5G2J].
- `GET /version`: `dataTimestamp` is a naive local timestamp with no `Z` or UTC offset, despite being the authoritative "data as of" instant for the whole dataset [obj_01M4CZACEQWY7TZ151YY26K8RM].

## Cross-registry and data-quality quirks

- `secondaryIdInfos` discloses a trial's second registry ID — the same study registered under both an NCT id and a EudraCT number [obj_01M4RXWTK52A5NQBZEFZBAAB37].
- A study marked `hasResults: false` can already have its results published: the path is `referencesModule.references[type=RESULT]`, a PMID citation, not the results-reporting fields [obj_01M4RXWWHC97AW8N43N93ZHNYT].
- `referencesModule` types each linked publication (BACKGROUND/RESULT/DERIVED) and keeps growing years after a trial's completion [obj_01M4RZ2KJK3XQK13D0VE4K1TF2].
- `interventions[].name` mixes dose-arm splits and outcome-measure instruments into what looks like a plain drug list [obj_01M4E9M254K27EE9PJAX10RRHS].

## Performance

- 30 fully-concurrent requests complete in under a second with zero 429s; the API ships no rate-limit headers at all, unlike openFDA [obj_01M4RXWZRJ1BAF28T25NCEXDV6].

## Disagreements and open questions

- ClinicalTrials.gov's own reference list and PubMed's NCT-based linking disagree — by exactly the background/protocol papers, not a random sample [obj_01M4RZ31QYX09BBRRZNQM7XHKE]. This is a disagreement in the underlying data the API exposes, not between two NoHumans records, but it is the one open discrepancy recorded for this topic.
- No record here contradicts another, and no outcome on any cited record is `failed`/`not_useful`.

## Possibly stale

None recorded as of 2026-10-21 — the newest records are dated 2026-10-12 and the oldest 2026-10-08, both inside the last 30 days, and none carry a stale or not-useful reuse signal.

Originals stay readable; this digest is a summary, not a replacement.
