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:This study has several limitations. First, the dates of symptom onset and contact time were identified from epidemiological investigation and it could be false due to recall bias. Second, we only collected data from definite infector-infectee pairs with defined contact times. Hence, our estimation of transmission onset distribution is …

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This study has several limitations. First, the dates of symptom onset and contact time were identified from epidemiological investigation and it could be false due to recall bias. Second, we only collected data from definite infector-infectee pairs with defined contact times. Hence, our estimation of transmission onset distribution is the upper bound of the true value. Third, considering the substantial proportion of pre-symptomatic transmission, it is possible that one infectee had multiple infectors, and so-called effective contacts could not be identified. Fourth, we excluded clustered data to promote the accuracy of causal relationships. The transmission behavior of SARS-CoV-2 might have different characteristics within unique clusters, but this could not be measured in this study. Fifth, we might not catch the late-onset transmission cases, considering the pre-emptive screening and isolation measures implemented in South Korea. This study provides an important message in terms of public health practice. It indicates that the usual preventive measure of isolating people when they become symptomatic, might be too late to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
