Καλησπέρα Charoula!
You can check the specific explanation of that, and any other, column of the MQC stats table in the eager output documentation:
https://nf-co.re/eager/2.5.3/docs/output/#general-stats-table
I believe it is the reads before/reads after deduplication.
My best guess is that since nf-core/eager does bam filtering before deduplication, if you have applied any filters to your bams (e.g. Q30), that might affect the number of reads before DeDup, and hence the reported number.
