Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:There are certain limitations that should be considered when interpreting the findings of the current study. Firstly, as this is a cross-sectional survey, causal inferences cannot be made, and chances for the recall and information bias may exist. Secondly, as the questionnaire is self-administered and thus, by depending upon the self-reported data, it is difficult to predict and understand whether the respondents are filling the survey honestly, i.e., social desirability bias and the responses provided by the participants may not reflect the reality. Lastly, as this is an internet-based online survey, it might not capture the responses from the regions with the restricted access to the social media, and thus may introduce demographic selection bias and might have received the responses mostly from the younger and internet-active population leading to coverage bias.
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.
