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

    Table 1: Rigor

    EthicsConsent: All participants provided written informed consent.
    Field Sample Permit: This work was carried out in collaboration with Moderna, Inc. and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
    Sex as a biological variablenot detected.
    RandomizationProcedures: Participants were randomised in a 1:1:1 ratio, using a permuted block method stratified by site and by age group (< 75 years and ≥ 75 years), to receive concomitant administration of QIV-HD and mRNA-1273 vaccine (Coad group), QIV-HD alone (QIV-HD group), or mRNA-1273 vaccine alone (mRNA-1273 group).
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot detected.
    Cell Line AuthenticationAuthentication: The SARS-CoV-2 Pre-Spike IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was a validated assay, performed by Nexelis (Laval, Quebec, Canada) as previously described.

    SentencesResources
    To describe the SARS-CoV-2 binding antibody response, the following endpoints were reported for each treatment group: geometric mean concentration (GMCs) of anti-S binding IgG on D1 and D22, and D22/D1 ratios; ≥ two-fold-rise and ≥ four-fold-rise in anti-S binding IgG on D22.
    anti-S binding IgG

    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.
