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 cross-sectional design, providing an evaluation of a single snapshot in time is a limitation of the study. As the pandemics has assumed different faces throughout the year, residents’ mood and perceptions may certainly fluctuate with time. The questionnaire is long, which may make participants bored through the process of answering it. Nevertheless, the response rates were very high. Another point is that the instruments used to evaluate many of the parameters are not validated. For instance, mental health was assessed using a single question, instead of a validated questionnaire. Despite these limitations, our findings seem to present a reliable picture of the impact of COVID-19 in a number of aspects of Brazilian urology residents’ education, health and lifestyle behavior than can possibly be expanded for residents from other medical specialties. Further studies should confirm these findings and expand on the evaluation of the detrimental impacts of COVID-19 in medical residents from different specialties to help developing strategies to mitigate their losses.
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.
Results from scite Reference Check: We found no unreliable references.
