Occurrence rates of planets around M dwarfs for different orbital periods are shown. Planets in periods of less than 50 days are shown in black, less than 10 days in green, and 10-50 days in purple. Note the steep drop off at 2.8 radii-- there seem to be very few Neptune-Jupiter sized planets around M dwarfs!
