Table 1: Rigor
Institutional Review Board Statement Consent: The researchers also boosted the survey on Facebook, directing it to the MSM population aged from 18 to 60 years old (Facebook imposed the age restriction), using a fixed post on the official page of the survey (https://www.facebook.com/taafimdeque/) accompanied by an electronic link that granted access to a free and informed consent form and the survey’s questionnaire. Randomization not detected. Blinding not detected. Power Analysis not detected. Sex as a biological variable not detected. Table 2: Resources

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This study’s limitations include its design. Cross-sectional studies do not allow for cause and effect conclusions; that is, longitudinal studies would allow for better evidence of associations. Additionally, due to the need to comply with social distancing measures, population-based face-to-face interviews were not possible, except for the MSM who did not have access to the Internet and could not complete the electronic form. Finally, a probabilistic sampling procedure was not adopted here, which impedes the generalization of results to other contexts or countries, though the results provide a situational diagnosis of the MSM’s psychological well-being in the pandemic context.
Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
