       Number of bytes written by the operation from the cache to the
       disk.
 
+      WiredTiger typically doesn't require the query to write to disk.
+      Data modified by the query is written to an in-memory cache that
+      WiredTiger flushes to disk as part an eviction or checkpoint
+      operation. In such cases, ``bytesWritten`` shows as 0.
+
+      If the thread running the query requires forced page management
+      (such as eviction), WiredTiger writes the page contents to disk.
+      This flush likely includes data unrelated to changes made by the
+      query itself, which can cause ``bytesWritten`` to show
+      a higher value than expected.
