Is there a list of the most-transited airports in the world?

Some airports report themselves how many transfer passengers they have (or at least what’s the % of all passengers). E.g. Schiphol (AMS) had 71.053 million passengers in 2018, of which 36.6% were transfers, for a total of 26 million transited passengers. Heathrow claims a figure of 24 million transited passengers, 30% of its total.

According to the paper How to assess the percentage of transfer passengers at airports?, Atlanta had 65%-69% transfer passengers (in 2011), which is very high compared to other airports. Since it’s already the largest passenger airport in the world with a total of 107 million passengers per year, it’s probably safe to say it’s also the world’s top transited airport. (The few airports with a higher transfer percentage (DOH, AUH) have an overall number of passengers which is 3-4 times smaller.)
