Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Study limitations: Our sample did not include severely ill patients, and therefore is relevant for light to moderately ill patients only. No objective testing was performed, and the information was self-reported by the participants. Additionally, the retrospective data collection method used in this study may have caused recall bias. Patients were contacted for the second and third interviews only if they have not reported recovery. In principle, it is possible that some of the recovered patients could have recurrences of symptoms as well[22]. Therefore, for the six-months follow-up we recontacted all study participants for reports of unresolved symptoms. Long period studies of larger groups of COVID-19 patients, with more follow-ups are needed to further monitor and characterize manifestations of “long COVID”[23].
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.
