    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    COVID-19 vaccines have achieved extraordinary success in protection from infection and disease; yet some limitations exist, including differences in VE between vaccines and waning of protection against infection over a period of several months. Here, diverse metrics of adaptive responses were measured to mRNA-1273, BNT162b2, Ad26.COV2.S and NVX-CoV2373, with implications for understanding the protection against COVID-19 associated with each of the vaccines. A strength of this study is that the samples from different vaccine platforms were obtained from the same blood processing facility, from the same geographical location, and were analyzed concomitantly, utilizing the same experimental platform. In the present study, antibody responses were detected in 100% of individuals. At 6 months post-immunization, the neutralizing antibody titer hierarchy between the vaccines was mRNA-1273~BNT162b2~NVX-CoV2373>Ad26.COV2.S. These serological data are consistent with previous reports for single vaccines (Atmar et al., 2022; Doria-Rose et al., 2021; Goel et al., 2021; Naranbhai et al., 2021a; Pajon et al., 2022; Pegu et al., 2021), and serological comparisons between vaccines (Barouch et al., 2021; Carreno et al., 2022; Naranbhai et al., 2021b; Self et al., 2021), though in much large serological studies ~2-fold higher neutralizing antibody titers were discerned with mRNA-1273 compared to BNT162b2 (Atmar et al., 2022; Steensels et al., 2021). Comparisons of NVX-CoV2373 antibody responses...

    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.
