While working on the following analytic, mappings on the datamodel could not be completed properly due to process and registry items not mapping correctly.

Full query with Join:

| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count from datamodel=Endpoint.Registry
  where Registry.registry_path IN ("*\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Schedule\\TaskCache\\Tree\\*") AND Registry.registry_value_name="SD" AND Registry.user="SYSTEM" 
  by _time span=1h Registry.dest Registry.user Registry.registry_path Registry.registry_value_name Registry.process_guid Registry.registry_key_name Registry.registry_value_data 
  | `drop_dm_object_name(Registry)` 
  | join process_guid _time 
  [| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Processes
  by _time span=1h Processes.process_id Processes.process_name Processes.process Processes.dest Processes.process_guid 
  | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`]
  | table
  _time dest user process_name process process_guid registry_path registry_value_name registry_value_data registry_key_name action

Without join

| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count from datamodel=Endpoint.Registry
  where Registry.registry_path IN ("*\\Schedule\\TaskCache\\Tree\\*") Registry.user="SYSTEM" Registry.registry_value_name="SD" (Registry.action=Deleted OR Registry.action=modified)
  by _time  Registry.dest Registry.user Registry.registry_path Registry.registry_value_name Registry.process_guid Registry.registry_key_name Registry.registry_value_data Registry.status Registry.action
  | `drop_dm_object_name(Registry)`

Works best, but you miss the context of which process performed the action. The action field is modified or deleted because that is not being mapped correctly with the TA.
