There are countless comparative law articles on civil/common law systems, it’s not exactly clear this “impact” you’re trying to measure. I suppose you could try to determine the number of codified laws in a civil law jurisdiction vs the number of original cases cited in published opinions in a common law country. But even with a total number of cases that relied on stare decisis in rulings, I just don’t know what impact that reveals.
