It states this about the chart.

The table lists the country-years in the dataset during which annual inflation exceeds 100 percent; some of these country-years are clearly hyperinflationary, while others are more moderate instances.

In other words... the chart only list the years that were over 100%. That's what they studied... contries that had inflation of over 100%, did they lop or not. Most all of the countries that lopped got inflation under control before doing it. If you go through the list of countries that lopped, you will see that they lopped a year or more after those 100% or higher inflation year. The only countries that don't are a situation like Zimbabwe. Where their inflation is astronomical. They put out huge dinominations... they have to lop while inflation is raging or they would have a 1,000,000,000,000 bill.
