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

    Table 1: Rigor

    EthicsIRB: Study Protocol: After obtaining approval from the institute ethics committee (IEC-450/02.07.2021), medical records of the COVID-19 positive patients that underwent surgical resection for mucormycosis at National Cancer Institute
    Sex as a biological variablenot detected.
    Randomizationnot detected.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot detected.

    SentencesResources
    [11] Statistical Analysis: Data pertaining to selected variables in the study were extracted from the records and entered into MS Excel software version 16.0
    MS Excel
    suggested: None
    The data were summarized using the medians with interquartile ranges [25th – 75th] for continuous variables and numbers and =proportions (%) for categorical variables Data were statistically reviewed using IBM SPSS Version 24
    SPSS
    suggested: (SPSS, RRID:SCR_002865)

    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:
    Our study has some limitations. First, the study had a retrospective nature and was based on the analysis of anaesthesia and hospital records. Second, all the patients were from a single center. Our study has one strength as this is the first of its kind study in anesthetic perspectives of COVID-19 associated mucormycosis that can be used as a platform for further studies on this topic.

    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.

    Results from rtransparent:

    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.
