node.js - What does npm removed xx packages and audited xx packages mean?

Question

The message like removed 23 packages and audited 1342 packages in 7.056s is shown every time I run an npm install command is run.

Now even when I run npm install multiple times consecutively, the same message is displayed. I would expect the audited packages to be reduced by 23 the next time this message is displayed and removed packages to show 0.

So I was wondering what exactly is this message supposed to mean, and what meaningful information can I get from it?
