    Review 1: "Neurological manifestations associated with COVID-19: a nationwide registry"

    Study finds broad spectrum of neurological manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Findings are informative for future intervention studies. Decision-makers should consider the claims in this study actionable with limitations to some methods and data.

    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:
    Our study has some limitations. First, this is a retrospective registry with inherent reporting biases, which should lead us to interpret with caution the different proportions of neurological manifestations. Headache, dizziness and anosmia were not particularly frequent in our registry, probably underreported and/or associated with milder forms of COVID-19 disease. Secondly, the data are entirely descriptive and based on the report at a definite time period during the French outbreak. We used a deliberately simplified CRF given the exceptional working load of medical teams, whose first mission during the outbreak was the management of patients. There was therefore no exhaustive collection of medical history other than neurological comorbidities and vascular comorbidities for AICS, nor of biological parameters. The main objective was to provide a wide overview of neurological manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The analysis of the mechanisms and potential risk factors for nervous system involvement in COVID-19 is therefore limited. Further studies are necessary to clarify these points.

    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.
