This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 46. 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 20 July 2026.
All research outputs
#1,152,390
of 34,575,175 outputs
Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#2,096
of 14,756 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#17,361
of 392,430 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#17
of 109 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,575,175 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,756 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 38.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% 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 392,430 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 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 109 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
