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 27 December 2021.

All research outputs

#6,137,513

of 22,769,322 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#7,926

of 12,313 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#28,812

of 94,406 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#35

of 66 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 22,769,322 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.

So far Altmetric has tracked 12,313 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.4. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.

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 94,406 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 66 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
