Dataset Identifier in Abstract
When the relevant dataset has a persistent public identifier, report that identifier and repository information in the abstract where the journal and ICMJE guidance call for it. This is narrower than a Data Availability Statement: it identifies a dataset/repository in the abstract and does not replace the article’s broader access, conditions, or sharing statement.
