Top: radius distribution of M dwarf planets in this sample. Middle: [Fe/H] vs. planet radius for the M dwarf planet sample. Bottom: 〈e〉 as a function of the binned planet radius. As G25 showed for planets around FGK stars, we demonstrate an apparent transition in planet occurrence, metallicity, and eccentricity in M dwarf planets.
