Wow, that really is open data:

An example of a Data Sharing Statement that would meet these requirements is as follows:

Will de-identified individual participant data be available (including data dictionaries)? Yes
What data in particular will be shared? All of the individual participant data collected during the study, after de-identification.
What other documents will be available? Study Protocol, Statistical Analysis Plan, Informed Consent Form, Clinical Study Report, Analytic Code.
When will data be available (start and end dates)? Immediately following publication. No end date.
With whom? Anyone who wishes to access the data.
For what types of analyses? Any purpose.
By what mechanism will data be made available? Data are available indefinitely at (Link to an appropriate be included).

The Data Sharing Statement should appear at the end of the Method section of the manuscript.

The new rules will be reviewed after one year to determine their feasibility over the longer term.

Fascinating that they require publication of all individual participant data collected during the study. This would stop practices like PACE where they trickled out bits of the results over several years, getting lots of papers from the same study, and being able to do lots of misleading media hype over years.

They would have to do all the protocol specified analysis and report it all in a single paper. If they don't they can be sure others will do it pretty soon.
