    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 work has some limitations. Our study population was not randomly and homogenously recruited. Participants’ medical histories and use of individual preventive measures were not documented. Individuals were not asked about anosmia and ageusia. Notwithstanding these limitations, our data provide a novel insight into the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 among different vulnerable urban populations. The survey also reveals the role of collective housing in relation to viral transmission within accommodation centres. Further genomic investigations are needed to better assess the source(s) and mode(s) of transmission of COVID-19 in this context.

    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. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
