    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:
    Finally, with all the limitations of the small cohort included in this study, this is the first report of the direct measurement of RAS peptides in the circulation of COVID-19 patients. Although future studies are obviously necessary to better understand the effects of this disease on RAS pathways, our data provide new insights for the interpretation and planning of future therapies to modulate the RAS in the context of COVID-19.

    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.
