    SciScore for 10.1101/2020.03.10.20032136: (What is this?)

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

    Table 1: Rigor

    Consent: The individual consent was exempted.
    Randomizationnot detected.
    Blindingnot detected.

    Sex as a biological variablenot detected.

    Table 2: Resources

    No key resources detected.

    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:
    The study has some limitations. Firstly, we conducted this study only based on 46 patients, which enabled us to compare the epidemiological and clinical differences between adolescent and younger adult with significance tests. Our results needed to be replicated with large sample size. Secondly, at the end date of this study, nearly 20% of the patients still hospitalized, which limited us to fully illuminate the prognosis outcomes for the study 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.

    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. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
