Openings Explorer game results

I'm trying to understand why the game results change in Openings Explorer. For example, in this position: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 g6 3. Bc4 Bg7 4. Nc3 Nc6 5. d3 d6 6. Be3 Nf6 the result looks like this:

If I pick 7. h3, the results looks like this:

My question: After 7. h3, why does game result change from 4 games with 100% win rate for Black to 8 games with 75% win rate for black? Not clear how there can be a larger number of games in the database and a lower win percentage for Black. Thanks!

Explorer is a position database. It shows all the positions where the pieces are all where the line gives and the listed moves are where that piece is in the given position.

So there are 8 games in the database where black has castled

So the move order doesn't matter, just the current position of the pieces?

Move order doesn't matter.
