    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:
    Our study has limitations. Firstly, our results provide an overview of the current literature rather than answer a single, predefined question. Secondly, the recommendations included in our scoping review were not comprehensively assessed for methodologic quality (since this is not usually conducted for scoping reviews), although we would expect that included recommendations would likely score poorly in both methodological rigour and transparency of development. Reflecting on our experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic, our study should inform future efforts to improve and streamline the pandemic response. A few central groups of critical care specialists were able to both create and organize emerging evidence and facilitate the creation of internationally applicable guidelines which could be locally modified as needed. For example, the REMAP-CAP and RECOVERY trials provided a global research platform to efficiently adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, and rapidly evaluate various treatments in an expeditious manner.19–21 Similar international, multicentre initiatives within the perioperative research space were seldom observed, representing an important avenue of exploration to improve preparedness for future pandemics. Early synthesis and organization of evidence without redundancy in efforts will facilitate development of a judicious response to future pandemics. Our scoping review may be considered as one of the first needed steps to learn from experience. Just like individuals...

    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.
