Association between poor oral health and deterioration of appetite in older age: results from longitudinal analyses of two prospective cohorts from the UK and USA is a dataset published in BMJ Open (2025). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.250, placing it in the top 59.8% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 3 times, with 3 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 4/100.
Ranks in the top 60% 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.

“Data may be obtained from a third party and are not publicly available.”
The data availability statement points to a third party (the cohort studies) and does not provide a link to a repository record, fitting Colavizza category 1 (data available on request). [majority verdict 'partial' (3/5 passes agreed)]

“Data may be obtained from a third party and are not publicly available.”
The statement declares the data are not publicly available and offers no followable route with a defined process; 'may be obtained from a third party' is vague and does not specify a precondition.
