Another idea would is orbit semi-major axis vs planet mass, grouped by discovery methods.
It is similar to the existing period - mass plot. A main difference is that period - mass plot underrepresents those discovered by imaging or microlensing, as most of those have no period.

I did a one-off such plot of all published confirmed systems in https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/TblView/nph-tblView?app=ExoTbls&config=PS
The plot shows more clearly that
