Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations and improvements to NIMS: Currently the data in NIMS can only be linked for individuals with a NHS number where demographic details can be populated from the GP record or hospital record data. Those without an NHS number can opportunistically receive a vaccine and a NHS number will be allocated upon vaccination. These individuals’ records will only contain information from their vaccine event. As such, it is possible that some people are missing opportunities to be invited for a vaccination. Though the numbers of individuals without an NHS number is marginal, the most vulnerable populations (migrants, asylum seekers) are more likely to not have an NHS number, and as such excluding them from the benefit of the NIMS may exacerbate health inequalities. The use of PoC apps has made for more efficient data entry, however, errors due to manual entry are still possible. Many of these errors can only be validated at the vaccination site where the vaccine was delivered. The packaging of current vaccines do not leave sufficient space for barcodes to be added to individual vials and on some occasions barcodes have been pre-loaded at vaccination sessions in attempt to eliminate data entry error. Finally, though the NIMS is based on a unique NHS number, this number is only linked to health services datasets. Linking to non-health related indicators such as occupation, emigration are not possible using the NHS number. Parts of the NIMS’ data have attempted to overcome this limi...
Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
