Changes in mental and sexual health among MSM using HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: longitudinal analysis of the SwissPrEPared cohort study is a dataset published in Swiss Medical Weekly (2022). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.724, placing it in the top 27.7% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 15 times, with 8 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 13/100.
Ranks in the top 28% 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 any persistent identifier (DOI, Handle, ARK, or repository accession) for its own dataset.

“The small, highly representative and individual-level datasets analyzed during the current study and used to generate table S1 and figures S1 to S4 and the Appendix are not publicly available due to the sensitive nature of the data they contain. Source data are thus not provided with this paper. Investigators with a request for selected data should send a proposal to the SwissPrEPared e-mail address (info[at]swissprepared.ch). The provision of data will be considered by the Scientific Board of the SwissPrEPared cohort study and the relevant study team.

The data-availability statement points to a person-based request route (Colavizza category 1) rather than a repository record, so it is partial. [majority verdict 'partial' (3/5 passes agreed)]

“Data were collected from 14 participating centres between April 10, 2019 and March 22, 2021. Overall, 1,326 participants were assessed for eligibility (figure 1). Of these, 26 participants were found to be ineligible (two tested positive for HIV, one was unable to follow the study requirements and 23 declined study participation), whilst five withdrew their consent before the first visit (one concerned by data protection, one with infrequent PrEP use, three for unknown reasons). Thus, 1,295 participants were enrolled in the SwissPrEPared study by February 28, 2020. Of these, 252 were further excluded, either due to a lack of mental health data (129 with missing questionnaire before February 28, 2020 and 75 with missing questionnaire after this date), or because they did not identify as MSM (n = 48). Thus, data from 1,043 participants were eventually included in the analysis.”— not found in the paper; verdict downgraded
