    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    The recombinant antigens containing the nucleoprotein and a peptide from spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 were conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and immobilized on the anti-FITC antibody conjugated magnetic particles.
    anti-FITC
    suggested: None
    Alkaline phosphatase conjugated human IgG/IgM antibody was used as the detection antibody.
    human IgG/IgM
    suggested: None

    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:
    A limitation of the survey is that only one serum sample for each case was obtained. It is better to confirm the test results by second sampling if possible. In summary, we depict a relatively complete prospect of acute antibody response against SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients. We believe the antibody test would be of great help in the diagnosis of COVID-19 and the epidemic survey of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    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.
