Table 1: Rigor
Institutional Review Board Statement IRB: Diagnosis and clinical classification criteria and treatment plan (trial version 5) of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) was launched by the National Health Committee of the People’s Republic of China (http://www.nhc.gov.cn/). Randomization not detected. Blinding not detected. Power Analysis not detected. Sex as a biological variable Kaplan–Meier survival curves and the log-rank test was used for testing the survival between males and females. Table 2: Resources

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations: This study has some limitations. First, for severity analysis only a case series of 43 patients with SARS-CoV-2 were included, because detailed patient information, particularly regarding clinical outcomes was unavailable in the public data set; Second, for mortality analysis only the first 37cases died of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan city were included. However, this is the first preliminary data investigating the gender role in morbidity and mortality in patients with SARS-CoV-2. More clinical and basic research regarding gender and other prognostic factors for individualized assessment and treatment is needed in the future.
