The forecasted trend for the total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in transplantation in China shows a consistent upward trajectory from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 11.55 publications in 2024 and increasing to 13.15 in 2028, the year-on-year increases demonstrate steady growth with each subsequent year. The period covered by 2024 to 2028 shows an evident annual growth pattern, suggesting strong momentum in China's transplantation research impact as measured by highly cited works. In 2023, the number was slightly lower, indicating an accelerating trend in the following years.

Future trends to watch include:

Emerging technologies and methodologies in transplantation research that might influence publication impact.
Increased collaboration with international institutions leading to higher citation potential.
Government and institutional support for scientific research that could intensify this positive trend.
