Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations: The included studies were from both high and low-income countries and therefore generalization of results to all countries should be done with caution. Also, many of the questionnaires in the studies did not have sufficient validity and reliability or did not report it. Our review study also had some limitations. Due to differences in studies and the use of different questionnaires, conducting a meta-analysis was not possible in this study. We have only reviewed studies published in English. On the other hand, due to the high speed of publication of articles in this field, some other studies may be published at the time of writing the article and the review process, which has been missed. Of course, due to the high speed of publishing articles, this limitation is inevitable.
Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
