Brain Structure and Degeneration Staging in Friedreich Ataxia: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Volumetrics from the ENIGMA‐Ataxia Working Group is a dataset published in Annals of Neurology (2021). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 1.1, placing it in the top 19% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 68 times, with 29 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 42/100.
Ranks in the top 19% for downstream scientific impact
DataRank reads this dataset's downstream impact straight off the citation graph — no black box, no proprietary weighting. How is this computed?
FAIR checklist signals are shown for context only and do not affect DataRank scoring.
Full FAIR picture · advisory
The headline score is computed from the scored criteria — the fact-shaped checks (a repository, an accession, a licence) that two independent models agree on. The advisory criteria below are real FAIR guidance but rest on judgment calls that models read differently, so they inform without moving the number.

The paper gives a web address (URL) for the data, not a persistent identifier scheme, so it is partial. [majority verdict 'partial' (4/5 passes agreed)]

The paper names GitHub as the host for the data, which is a non-repository host (code repository), so it is partial. [majority verdict 'partial' (4/5 passes agreed)]

“All code, data processing instructions, and group‐level effect maps are available at https://github.com/Harding-Lab/enigma-ataxia . All individual‐level effect maps (warped, modulated voxel maps for voxel‐based morphometry) can be accessed through a secondary data use proposal submitted to the ENIGMA‐Ataxia working group ( http://enigma.ini.usc.edu/ongoing/enigma-ataxia/ ).”
The statement points to a repository (GitHub) for code and group-level maps, but the primary data require a secondary proposal, not a repository record. This is Colavizza category 3 (link to archived data) but not a repository record with an accession, so partial. [majority verdict 'partial' (2/5 passes agreed)]
