  1. SciScore for 10.1101/2021.05.27.446014: (What is this?)

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

    Table 1: Rigor

    EthicsField Sample Permit: SARS-CoV-2 specific antibody testing: ELISAs were conducted as previously described 30,74.
    Sex as a biological variableUmbilical cord blood was also collected at the time of birth from infants born to healthy mothers at GSTT prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (until 1st Jan 2020), hence their mothers were not infected with SARS-CoV-2 at any time during their pregnancy, termed the Non SARS-CoV-2 Exposed (NSE) group (REC Approval No. 17/LO/0641).
    Randomizationnot detected.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot 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: 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: Please consider improving the rainbow (“jet”) colormap(s) used on page 27. At least one figure is not accessible to readers with colorblindness and/or is not true to the data, i.e. not perceptually uniform.

    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.
