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 results should be interpreted in the light of some limitations. First, this was a retrospective analysis that combined data from different sources. The data are collected at the level of geographic locations and not at the level of individual patient.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our results should be interpreted in the light of some limitations. First, this was a retrospective analysis that combined data from different sources. The data are collected at the level of geographic locations and not at the level of individual patient. For example, person-to-person transmissibility of COVID-19 in an infector-infectee scenario was not investigated in this study. Therefore, all the estimates and associations should only be considered as general patterns rather than definitive evidence. Second, akin to any observational study, unmeasured confounding can be expected to be operational. Despite these potential limitations our study demonstrated interesting and important patterns of association of geo-meteorological factors in COVID-19 spread. To control a pandemic of this magnitude, all scientific evidence from a holistic standpoint is needed. To that end, our study provides clues into the ecological aspects of COVID-19 during the initial months in India.
Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
