    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:
    Strengths and limitations: The main strength of this study is that the collection of data was executed during the COVID-19 pandemic, while participants were still working as a returner or had only just resigned, which decreased the chances of recall bias. Moreover, the topic is urgent and we provided important insights in the experiences of re-entering nurses. For this study, we chose to include former nurses who re-entered in different healthcare settings. Due to the small number of re-entering nurses per healthcare setting, we were only able to identify main themes that generally apply to re-entering nurses during a pandemic, while full saturation on sub-themes for each specific setting was not achieved. Recommendations for future research: The perspective of current healthcare staff working with re-entering nurses is an essential topic for future research, considering the influences of re-entering of nurses during a pandemic on current healthcare staff. Mentoring, supervising and correctly assessing the proficiency of re-entering nurses during the already hectic circumstances of a pandemic, might be very straining on current healthcare staff.

    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.
