  1. SciScore for 10.1101/2022.01.07.21268224: (What is this?)

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

    Table 1: Rigor

    EthicsIRB: In June/July 2021, we conducted a survey selecting a representative sample of children and adolescents of a Swiss canton population (Ethics Committee ID: 2020-0088) [6].
    Sex as a biological variablenot detected.
    Randomizationnot detected.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot detected.

    Table 2: Resources

    No key resources 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: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    The major limitation of this study is the fact that we only examined HRQoL and stress level; we could not measure potential educational losses, nor the impact of online teaching. Furthermore, data is self-reported with a limited sample size. Overall, these findings are reassuring in that quarantines and related school disruptions, which we know are a common and effective way of controlling SARS-CoV-2 transmission, did not seem to meaningfully impact children and adolescent’s wellbeing and stress. However, school absences should not be trivialized as they are linked to poorer educational achievements [10]. Finding the right balance between SARS-CoV-2 control and young populations’ well-being is challenging, and the current results provide additional information for decision makers.

    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.


    Results from rtransparent:

    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.
