Cohort profile: study design and baseline characteristics of an observational longitudinal weight loss cohort and biorepository of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy in the USA is a dataset published in BMJ Open (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.208, placing it in the top 64.8% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 3 times. Its calibrated FAIR score is 4/100.
Ranks in the top 65% 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.
No persistent identifier (DOI, accession, etc.) is given for the dataset; the only identifier is the article's DOI.
