SciScore for 10.1101/2022.03.25.22272949: (What is this?)
Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.
Table 1: Rigor
Ethics not detected. Sex as a biological variable We defined the comparator/control as people without the exposure of interest (e.g., male versus female, people without diabetes, etc.) or with different levels of the exposure (e.g., different age group or BMI category). Randomization We included peer-reviewed articles, results in trial registrations (if no report published yet), and pre-prints of primary studies, including (for KQ1) prospective/retrospective observational studies with ≥ 300 participants with Covid-19, and (for KQ2) randomized and quasi-randomized or experimental studies (e.g., controlled before-after, interrupted time series, uncontrolled before-after implementation studies), … SciScore for 10.1101/2022.03.25.22272949: (What is this?)

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:Limitation of the evidence and future direction: Our findings are mostly applicable to longer-term consequences of Covid-19 occurring ≥22 weeks after diagnosis or illness onset as we identified only a few studies with shorter follow-up length. Also, despite the large volume of data emerging, many studies came from a hospitalized population. Of all the included studies, we identified only one that was exclusively in children who were previously hospitalized with Covid-19 (40). The study reported on several potential risk factors including age, sex, acute Covid-19 severity, obesity, and allergic diseases, however, none were identified as having a strong association with outcomes of our review. Evidence was also sparse in relation to pre-existing socioeconomic variables (e.g., race/ethnicity, income, education, employment) and marginalized groups including indigenous communities, institutionalized populations, and persons with disability, despite being listed as priority populations for Covid-19 policies by several jurisdictions. Similarly, we did not locate studies reporting on associations between Covid-19 vaccination status and long-term consequences of Covid-19. Moreover, current studies are mostly based on self-reported outcome and exposure data, which could be subject to recall bias and misclassification, and may limit generalizability of the evidence to other populations (30). There is also the possibility of over/under-estimation of the reported associations as people fr...
