    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:
    This study has some limitations. Firstly, it is a single center observational study; further studies will be necessary to confirm these preliminary data. Secondly, due to the COVID-19 emergency situation, it was not possible to determine a control group; we decided therefore to compare our data with the available literature. Thirdly, it was not possible to compare GUSS scale between different SLT teams, potentially leading to the presence of bias due to a single specialist evaluation. Finally, it was not possible to quantify the SLT’s work and its impact in patients’ dysphagia management.

    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.

    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.
