    Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.

    NIH rigor criteria are not applicable to paper type.

    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 exist a few limitations with regard to the proposed method. Though attention maps could show interpretability and explainability for COVID-19 diagnosis, there exist some failure cases where the attention map do not correctly indicate an infected region as shown inFigure 5. Second, we found that extensive data augmentation such as color jittering lead to reduced performance and was largely negligible compared to the benefit of using a contrastive loss which showed consistent improvements across all evaluation settings. This motivates us to consider using more complex attention modes for better diagnostic interpretability as well as explore unsupervised pre-training using the proposed method both in 2D or 3D as future directions.

    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: Please consider improving the rainbow (“jet”) colormap(s) used on page 12. At least one figure is not accessible to readers with colorblindness and/or is not true to the data, i.e. not perceptually uniform.

    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.
