    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:
    Limitations of the study: The in vitro FRNT assays we report here do not measure the effect of complement or antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity which may enhance neutralization in vivo. The role that T cells play in immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and in particular protection from severe disease is unknown and worthy of investigation, but recent findings suggest that CD4 and CD8 T cell responses raised to ancestral strains are minimally impacted by the variants (Alison Tarke et al., 2021;Skelly et al., 2021). It will be interesting to determine the directionality of neutralization between the different variant viruses and naturally acquired antibody responses to them. For instance, there is some suggestion in this report that plasma induced by B.1.1.7 is better able to neutralize B.1.351 and P.1. Measuring neutralization of viral variants by B.1.351 and P.1 serum will give a better idea of cross protection against the other strains.

    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.
