Corresponding authors from China represented 0 top-cited publications in 2003-2004, 1 in 2013-2014, and 4 in 2023-2024. There was an increase in consensus articles (10 in 2003-2004 vs 24 in 2023-2024) and in reference statistics articles (1 in 2003-2004, 10 in 2013-2014, and 11 in 2023-2024). Reviews remained common among top-cited articles, but almost always were nonsystematic. NIH funding was listed in 45 publications in 2003-2004, 50 in 2013-2014, and 23 in 2023-2024.

More commonly listed funding from nonprofit organizations, societies, and institutions complemented the NIH funding decline. The first authors of 7 of 45 and the corresponding authors of 14 of 45 top-cited US-based articles of 2023-2024 were listed as leaders of active NIH grants in RePORTER as of February 2025.
