Table 1: Rigor
Ethics Consent: Consecutive hospitalized adult patients with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were enrolled after obtaining informed consent. Sex as a biological variable The participants were predominantly male (91/139, 65%) with a median age of 65 years (interquartile range [IQR], 54 to 77). Randomization not detected. Blinding not detected. Power Analysis not detected. Table 2: Resources

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The small sample size and lack of a comparable control group (hospitalized for other reasons than COVID-19) are the major limitations. Additionally, as the absolute majority of the patients were zinc deficient, no room was left for any comparison between zinc deficient and non-existing zinc sufficient patients.
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.
