I would agree if there were a way to find these failed cases if you looked hard enough. Other than acquiring the link before the end date of the project there doesn't seem to be a way. This may be a good way to check what happened to project X, but not to answer the question:
"How have other projects in field foobar done, which ones have failed or succeeded, and what does each group have in common?"
