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:

This study has limitations. It is not clear which is the best method to collect the SARS-CoV-2 from MPs. Furthermore, the Cts found are high and may be interpreted as having a small viral load8, although late amplification may have been caused by the freezing and thawing of the samples9,10.

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.
