Associations between early tumor shrinkage/depth of response and survival from the ARCAD database is a dataset published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum (2025). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.104, placing it in the top 77.8% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 1 time, with 1 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 13/100.
Ranks in the top 78% 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 does not provide a persistent identifier (DOI, Handle, accession) for its own dataset; only the article DOI is present.

“The data sharing of individual patient data from each participating trial will be subject to the policy and procedures of the institutions and groups that conducted the original study.
