    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:
    Limitations: In addition to the limitations already discussed, we did not collect detailed clinical data on all the reinfection cases to assess disease severity compared to the primary infection. Among hospitalised cases, too, we were unable to distinguish whether the children were hospitalised for COVID-19 or the virus was identified incidentally during routine screening of children attending hospital for other illnesses. The emergence of new variants also made it difficult to assess waning of natural immunity over time. As children continue to be vaccinated against COVID-19, it will become more difficult to assess long-term protection after natural 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.
