Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 32. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 September 2025.
All research outputs
#1,551,210
of 33,176,665 outputs
Outputs from Nature Medicine
#3,693
of 11,330 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,944
of 336,670 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Medicine
#17
of 99 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,176,665 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,330 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 109.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,670 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 99 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
