This survey provided a massive amount of information. While it can be individually searched in the tree/chart views, a general showcase of interesting statistics is likely accessible to the average osu! player/mapper.
Keep in mind that the results are not meant to decide who is "the best [whatever]." It's a way to see cool info more clearly.

Reply rate for the three-mapper-influences question was higher than expected! With so many messages being sent to users who are no longer active in the game, it was unlikely to receive even half the potential replies. With help from Skystar, KSHR, alacat, Chaoslitz, Jounzan, Heatherfield, Frostmourne, spboxer3 and Mismagius, a lot of inactive users were contacted!
