Judged from the repository’s own field completeness (thresholds). “Not measured” means we have not probed that field for this record, not that the data lack it.

How complete all 27 clinical fields are - 9 informative for at least 80% of cases

A field counts as informative only when it holds a real value. “Not reported” blocks an analysis just as a missing field does. Fields marked 1:n can hold several records per case, so they show the share of cases with any record.

What it is good for

Written and checked by a reviewer, not generated from metadata.

No reviewed research questions yet. The measurements and field completeness above are machine-extracted and still useful for judging fit.

What it cannot tell you

Written by a reviewer against the source, not inferred from what is missing.

No reviewed limitations yet. Check the field completeness chart above before committing to an analysis. Low coverage on an endpoint you need is the most common blocker.

What articles did with it

Only the last row counts as reuse. Where the accession appears in an article tells us what the authors did with the data.

Against comparable datasets

7 articles analyzed these data. About 4 would be expected. The expectation comes from a model of size, age, breadth and access tier.

  • Analyzed it7
  • Expected~4
Reuse assessment
  • Reuse is within the expected range for comparable datasets (index +0.76).

Compared against 132 datasets in this corpus with a citable accession and sufficient metadata. See Methods for the model.

Possible original publication, unverified

No repository or reviewer names this dataset’s marker paper, so this is the pipeline’s own guess: the earliest heavily cited article that analysed the accession and names it in full text. Nothing is counted from it - not the citation figure above, not the funding attribution - and it is queued for review rather than presented as fact.

Articles that analyzed the data

Examples, not the full list. 9 articles matching this dataset's accession search were retrieved and graded individually; these are the strongest of those.

Deep-review sample: author overlap and funding were checked only for the 8 articles listed here, not for every article examined. Of the 7 that analyzed the data, author overlap with the generating team could not be checked for any of them, and 0 of the 7 we could check were themselves NCI-funded. These are sample counts, not population estimates.

1 article with weaker evidence

These name the dataset, but we could not confirm the data were analyzed. Shown for completeness and not counted as reuse.

    Proteomic data are released open; the portal's use guidelines still apply.

  2. 2

    The portal asks for acknowledgement and citation, not a data access request.

    Resolve the study UUID, then fetch the file manifestFor agents

    filesPerStudy keys on the study UUID, not on PDC000114: called with the pdc_study_id it returns the right number of rows with every column null. Resolve the UUID first and pass the terms acknowledgement.
