On theSindex it has a DataRank of 2.1, placing it in the top 10.4% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 74 times, with 68 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 4/100.
Ranks in the top 10% for downstream scientific impact
Linked data & code
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 data that has been used is confidential.”
The paper gives no persistent identifier for its own dataset; the only DOI is the article's own DOI.

“Table 2 General characteristics of the study population.”
The paper does not contain an itemised inventory of the dataset (no 'Data Records' section, table, or list of files); the content is described only in running prose and a summary table of participant characteristics, which is not a data inventory. [majority verdict 'no' (3/5 passes agreed)]

“The data that has been used is confidential.”
The text gives no route to access the data; it states the data are confidential and thus not obtainable.
