I don't have any numbers, but my degrees are in physics and I have taken several advanced courses in vibrations and vibrating structures (acoustics was my emphasis). I haven't done any measurements on it, but the increased mass helping is clearly suggested by solving the coupled equations of motion for the string and the bass (really strictly speaking the extra mass will move your coupled natural frequency down, so if you get enough mass, your natural frequency where most energy is lost is so low that by the time you get to the frequencies you care about the coupling between the string and body is weak, keeping more of the energy in the string than with a lighter bridge).
No offense taken, hope the above was helpful. Of course, one needs to realize that results in real life may not always be as dramatic as the equations for an ideal situation seem, but between the equations and intuition, I am sure that extra mass will help some, though to what extent depends on the strings, bridge, bass, tuning, etc. It's not going to hurt the sustain, that's for sure.
