Antibodies Sentences Resources To detect IgG and IgM anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, we used COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette rapid diagnostic test from Zhejiang Orient Gene (Biotech Co LTD, China) on capillary blood obtained by finger-prick. anti-SARS-CoV-2suggested: NoneLaboratory analysis: The COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette, a rapid diagnostic test from Zhejiang Orient Gene (Biotech Co LTD, China), is an immunochromatographic assay uses SARS-COV-2 antigen-coated particles to qualitatively detect IgG and IgM antibodies in whole blood, capillary blood, serum, and plasma. IgMsuggested: NoneSoftware and Algorithms Sentences Resources First, we estimate the seroprevalence by accounting for the survey sampling weights using STATA survey (svy) commands and, second, we adjusted these estimates to account for the sensitivity (95.8%) and specificity (100%) using the diagnostic (diagti) command. STATAsuggested: (Stata, RRID:SCR_012763)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: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.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.

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.
