    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:
    The limitations of this study include the small sample size, especially for older adults, and short follow-up period. Nevertheless, the sample size provides a meaningful initial assessment of the frequency and intensity of the solicited AEs. As of January 31, 2022 (6 months post-vaccination), no AESI nor SAE related to vaccine have been reported. In conclusion, GBP510 adjuvanted with AS03 was well-tolerated with an acceptable safety profile, and highly immunogenic. The phase 1/2 trial has been extended to the homologous booster study, which assess the impact of a third dose (25μg GBP510 adjuvanted with AS03) on the durability and cross-protection. Based on the results of this phase 1/2 trial, a phase 3, randomized, observer-blind trial is underway to compare the immunogenicity and safety of 25 μg GBP510 adjuvanted with AS03 to ChAdOx1 in adults 18 years of age and older (initiated August 30, 2021). In addition, a Phase 2, heterologous GBP510 adjuvanted with AS03 booster trial began on January 6, 2022, to assess the merits of this immune-focused antigen as a universal booster to already licensed CoV-2 vaccines.

    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.
