National Healthcaresuggested: NoneAll parts of the study were performed in compliance with the Human Biomedical Research Act, Singapore. Human Biomedicalsuggested: NoneParticipants assigned an even case number received the FLOQSwab first, followed by the Python swab, while the reverse was true for participants assigned with an odd case number. Pythonsuggested: (IPython, RRID:SCR_001658)Statistical analysis: Statistical analysis for the mechanical testing and fluid experiments were performed in GraphPad Prism version 8.4.2 (GraphPad Software, La Jolla California USA).

Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
