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:There are several limitations in this study. This prospective study presents the cross-sectional data performed in a single hospital and limited to the performance comparisons with the results of NPSTS and DTS, which are not perfect standard tests. The clinical sample pairs (n = 6) that underwent 24- to 72-hour RT storage remained stable …

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:There are several limitations in this study. This prospective study presents the cross-sectional data performed in a single hospital and limited to the performance comparisons with the results of NPSTS and DTS, which are not perfect standard tests. The clinical sample pairs (n = 6) that underwent 24- to 72-hour RT storage remained stable in terms of viral detection. However, the involvement of protease and RNase activity of individual subjects and its contribution to sample stability was not fully elucidated. Moreover, we did not evaluate the quality of the sample in a genuine home to laboratory scenario. If extended sample transportation period is necessary, stabilization buffer e.g. RNAlater might be needed. Lastly, the current method provided detection of SARS-CoV-2 at the gene level but no information was obtained regarding the infectious titer.
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.
