    12 An unblinded statistical analysis committee conducted interim and final analyses with R version 4.0.5 using the RStan package version 2.21.0 (R Foundation, Vienna, Austria) and reported results to the UPMC Chief Medical Officer who functioned in a data and safety monitor role for the study.

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    There are many limitations to these studies. First, the observational analysis of mAb treatment versus no mAb treatment may be subject to residual or unmeasured confounding. Second, we evaluated comparative effectiveness trial results early due to the Delta variant crisis and the primary analysis was inconclusive. Third, this report is restricted to the patients in the catchment of UPMC, limiting generalizability. Finally, we were not powered to determine treatment effects by symptom onset or vaccine status.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
