Such a comparison should be possible. We have protection logs, we
should be able to go through them and work out how many articles were
(semi-)protected at any given time. A graph of that data would reveal
any obvious impact of the introduction of semi protection (work out a
trend from the data before the introduction and see if the data after
it fits it or not).

Is there a machine readable version of the protection log anywhere?
