The phrase "a subsequent study identified" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when referring to a study that follows another study and presents new findings or insights.
Example: "A subsequent study identified several key factors that contribute to the success of remote work."
Alternatives: "a later study found" or "an ensuing study revealed".
A subsequent study identified turnover of HDACs at the protein level, in particular HDAC3 and HDAC6.
A subsequent study identified upregulation of members of the SHH signaling pathway in human specimens [ 41].
Surprisingly, these studies found no evidence of anatomical differences, although a subsequent study identified differences in the VNC [ 18].
A subsequent study identified 532 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between progressive and nonprogressive DN, highly enriched with immune response and lipid metabolism (8).
A subsequent study identified an association between a dominant myxozoan parasite and two MHC class II β alleles, one statistically associated with susceptibility to infection, and the other with resistance (Dionne et al. 2009).
Although initial work suggested both were species specific, Cops-1 for C. parvum and Chos-1 for C. hominis, subsequent study identified an abridged ortholog of Cops-1 in C. hominis.
Subsequent study identified the efficacy of pregabalin (an anticonvulsant with α2-δ ligand binding) and two newer antidepressants - the serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (duloxetine and milnacipran) - in relief of FMS symptoms.
However, a number of subsequent studies identified problems with that analysis and showed that when correcting for biases, the same type of analysis does provide support for the ortholog conjecture.
Initial candidate-based approaches identified a canonical cis-acting unfolded protein response element (UPRE-1) within target gene promoters; however, subsequent studies identified a large set of Hac1 target genes lacking this UPRE-1 and containing a different motif (UPRE-2).
Subsequent studies identified a 72 kDa form of STAT3 (STAT3γ) which is activated in human neutrophils following granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment.
Subsequent studies identified BPW analysis as an indicator of a systemic inflammatory response, as observed in sepsis [ 13].
