Data sharing is desirable, but benefits should not be exaggerated

Publication Description
The DCCT/EDIC research group has published about 250 papers to date. 3 The authors also stated that several papers derived from data sharing "have had an impact on the management of diabetes" but then reference our main study paper. 3 Relatively few, perhaps 25, publications have come from independent analyses of shared data available through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases central repository, and none has materially influenced diabetes care to date.
