      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This analytical study has some limitations, as only a single isolate (REMRQ0001/Human/2020/Liverpool) was used to assess the LODs but our results are consistent with other recently-published analyses30,31. To the authors knowledge, all 19 tests evaluated here detect the nucleoprotein, presumably chosen for abundance and relative low mutation rate and therefore hypothesized to pick up all currently known variants32,33. Another limitation is that only one lot per kit was evaluated. There is a growing number of studies suggesting that although antigen detection is less analytically sensitive than nucleic acid amplification techniques, it may strongly correlate with culturable virus, which may be a proxy for transmissibility. Hence Ag-RDTs could be informative for test, trace, isolate processes for the most infectious individuals10–15. Viral loads have been estimated to range from 108 to 1011 gcn/ml in the most infectious patients34–36. The majority of Ag-RDTs evaluated here have an LOD predicted to successfully diagnose infected individuals with higher viral loads in this range across all matrices, except Joysbio that had an LOD of 5.4 × 108 gcn/ml in dry swab. Further, Biocredit, iChroma, Standard-F and Genedia tests had LOD greater than 1.0 × 108 gcn/ml when using swabs placed in Amies and In conclusion, the most sensitive tests with an LOD ≤ 5.0 × 102 pfu/ml (≈ 1.2 ×106 gcn/ml) on dry swabs and direct culture supernatant were Espline, Mologic, Sure-Status and Roche and the le...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has several limitations. UKB is not representative of the general UK population; only 6% of those invited to participate did so.22 Risk factor levels and mortality rates are lower than in the general population, although risk factor associations with mortality for a range of diseases are similar.23 Hence, further studies are warranted in other populations. Our one-sample Mendelian randomisation analysis in UKB had limited power to reliably estimate causal effects as fewer than one thousand participants had been hospitalised after a positive SARS-CoV-2 test and our genetic instrument of 131 variants, while using the most up to date information on LTL-associated variants, accounts for only ∼4% of inter-individual variation in LTL.11 While there are data from large genetic studies of COVID-1924, they could not be used in our analysis because the outcome definitions differed substantially from those we used, and because of their inclusion of within hospital testing that is potentially a collider with LTL and COVID-19 outcomes. Larger sample sizes with comparable disease phenotypes should, therefore, enable more precise evaluation of a potential causal association between shorter LTL and adverse COVID-19 outcomes. In conclusion, in the largest study to date, we provide evidence that shorter LTL, reflecting older biological age, is associated with higher risk of adverse COVID-19 outcomes, independent of several major risk factors for COVID-19.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are several caveats to the approach adopted in this study. Of note, we only tested the compounds at a single 10 μM concentration, and thus an immediate option to see stronger inhibition of virus replication would be to test higher concentrations of the inhibitors. However, this might result in the identification of additional compounds with antiviral potential but only in a non-physiologically achievable range of concentrations. Thus, extensive compound modification and optimization for increased antiviral potential would be required in subsequent studies and would slow immediate roll-out of a repurposed drug. Given that our goal was to rapidly identify approved drugs as treatment options for COVID-19 and circumvent the lengthy process of progressing inhibitors to approval, we set the threshold at 10 μM and did not consider higher drug concentrations. Options to improve the yield of our screening approach could be to use an alternative structure of 3CL Mpro that was subsequently solved by room temperature X-ray crystallography (27). It reveals the ligand-free structure of the active site and the conformation at near-physiological temperature, and was suggested to be a better target for in silico screening for inhibitors of 3CL Mpro (27). Moreover, additional libraries of approved drugs could be included, for example IUPHAR/BPS (https://www.guidetopharmacology.org/) and ChEMBL (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/), although they overlap substantially with DrugBank.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations: We acknowledge several limitations. First, our human protein-protein interactome was built using high-quality data from multiple sources; yet it is still incomplete. The PPIs in our interactome is undirected. However, it has been shown that incorporating directionality of the human PPI does not change network proximity results [114]. Therefore, the network associations could be either positive or negative, and require further investigation. In addition, as our network proximity analysis relies on disease-associated genes, literature bias could affect the results because more highly-studied genes are more likely to appear in the dataset. Second, we analyzed expression levels of the key SARS-CoV-2 entry factors and found low expression levels for ACE2 and TMPRSS2. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 directly targeting the brain via as-yet unidentified mechanisms. Third, possible pathways of neuroinflammation and microvascular injury were tested using data of either individuals with AD or COVID-19, but not both. Future studies using genetics and multi-omics data from individuals with both AD and COVID-19 will be needed to confirm and extend these network-based findings. The significance of our findings in the context of the general population of COVID-19 frequently suffering from “brain fog” without a formal diagnosis of AD needs further investigation.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There were limitations to the study. First, as this was not a randomized controlled trial, unmeasured confounders could have distorted the overall findings. To minimize this possibility, we evaluated only counties in the US and adjusted for the most important characteristics of these counties. Second, although we chose the date of lockdown as the day on which the local government issued a “stay-at-home” order, other dates such as the date of a travel ban or school closing could also have been chosen. In a sensitivity analysis, we considered several of these possibilities (e.g. school closing, workplace closing, cancellation of public events, restrictions on gatherings, etc.) and found that the use of these dates produced very similar results to those of our main findings. Third, these data were generated in the US and may not apply to other countries around the world, which may have different characteristics and attitudes and adherence to public health policies such as masking and social distancing. Fourth, we did not consider the adherence of the residents in the counties to the lockdown order and did not evaluate the possible adverse effects of lockdowns including loss of income and productivity, mental health issues and “lockdown fatigue”. Notwithstanding these limitations, our findings have important public health implications. Local state and municipal governments should issue an immediate lockdown order when only a few cases of COVID-19 are ascertained in their communit...

      Considering power limitations of our trial, we observed similar trends towards improvement in the primary outcome among patients in the convalescent plasma group transfused within 7 days of symptom onset and those who received convalescent plasma with higher-titers of neutralizing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody. In the context of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, some of which may be associated with greater transmissibility and more severe illness (20), convalescent plasma may offer distinct therapeutic advantages. Since convalescent plasma, which contains polyclonal antibodies, may be donated and transfused locally, and its use may be more adaptable to rapidly changing local viral ecology than other interventions. In contrast, monoclonal antibody therapies may need to be repeatedly engineered and combined to optimize potency among emergent SARS-CoV-2 variants (21,22). Further, since collection and distribution of convalescent plasma units can be performed using existing blood donation protocols and infrastructure, convalescent plasma may be more scalable for use in low- and middle-income countries. Although clinical status at 28 days was not significantly different between treatment groups, 28-day mortality was significantly lower among patients randomized to receive convalescent plasma. Although this secondary outcome was pre-specified, our study was not powered to detect a difference in mortality and analyses of our secondary outcomes were not adjusted for multiplicity.

      Limitations of the study: The in vitro FRNT assays we report here do not measure the effect of complement or antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity which may enhance neutralization in vivo. The role that T cells play in immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and in particular protection from severe disease is unknown and worthy of investigation, but recent findings suggest that CD4 and CD8 T cell responses raised to ancestral strains are minimally impacted by the variants (Alison Tarke et al., 2021;Skelly et al., 2021). It will be interesting to determine the directionality of neutralization between the different variant viruses and naturally acquired antibody responses to them. For instance, there is some suggestion in this report that plasma induced by B.1.1.7 is better able to neutralize B.1.351 and P.1. Measuring neutralization of viral variants by B.1.351 and P.1 serum will give a better idea of cross protection against the other strains.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Within the limitations of high MOIs and incomplete loss of ZDHHC expression following siRNA, the observation suggest that ZDHHC9 influences the first round of infection, while ZDHHC20 might not. Next, we utilized the viral supernatants produced from the 10 h infections in cells silenced for either ZDHHC20 or ZDHHC9, and used them to infect naïve control cells. Supernatants were first adjusted to comparable amounts of E-RNA copies per ml (Figure S7D). Approximately 50 E copies were then added per target cell for infection. The infectivity was monitored 6 h after viral inoculation by measuring the total RNA of E and RdRP, as well as sub-genomic E RNA (E-sub_gen), which is a more accurate proxy for viral replication. The infectivity of virions produced from either ZDHHC20 and ZDHHC9 silenced cells was 25% to 30% lower than that of control virions, based on total and sub-genomic E RNA, respectively (Figure 7H). A similar trend was observed for RdRp RNA. These data indicate that ZDHHC20-mediated S-acylation contributes to SARS-CoV-2 infection by promoting the production of fully infectious virions. Finally, given the here identified importance of cholesterol and sphingolipid-rich domains, we tested whether pharmacological inhibition of sphingolipid biogenesis, could affect SARS-CoV-2 infection. We used the fungal metabolite Myriocin, which targets serine palmitoyltransferase-1 at early steps of sphingosine biosynthesis and fully depletes sphingolipids in cells in 5 days. We also t...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations and further directions: All protein interaction assays have limitations intrinsic to each method. Y2H assays are limited by the fact that proteins are exogenously expressed with functional assay tags and targeted to the nucleus. The heterologous nature of the assays and circumvention of physiological transcriptional regulation are limitations, but also a benefit in that they enable detection of interactions that might otherwise be missed. For example, screens that rely on the expression of one or both partners in a given cell line and growth condition might miss interactions for proteins that are not expressed in that cell line, even where these interactions are important in other tissues (Hikmet et al., 2020). Despite these limitations, it has been demonstrated repeatedly that Y2H systems, when quality controlled by orthogonal validation with empirically benchmarked assays as done here, yield high-quality interactions that enable important and robust biological insights (Altmann et al., 2020; Choi et al., 2019; Luck et al., 2020; Rolland et al., 2014; Yu et al., 2008). A known issue with every carefully conducted interaction assay is that true interactions can be missed, with only 20-40% of reference interactions being detectable by any single assay (Braun et al., 2009; Choi et al., 2019; Luck et al., 2020; Yu et al., 2008). This was a major motivation for applying complementary parallel approaches in this study. Future efforts might expand the barcoded ORFeome a...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      One limitation of this study is that the inactivation assays were performed in static liquid media as opposed to aerosolized droplets. While the use of visible light in air disinfection has been briefly studied where it was shown that its effectiveness increased approximately 4-fold43, further studies involving dynamic aerosolization are needed to better understand the true potential of visible light mediated viral inactivation. In any case, our study shows the increased susceptibility of enveloped respiratory viral pathogens to 405 nm mediated inactivation in the absence of photosensitizers. The irradiances used in this study are very low and might be easily applied to safely and continuously disinfect occupied areas within hospitals, schools, restaurants, offices and other locations.

      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.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      However, one caveat of our study is that other cells such as microglia, oligodendrocytes and vascular cells (pericytes, endothelial cells) are not present. Therefore, we cannot exclude that SARS-CoV-2 can infect and possibly replicate efficiently in other cells of the CNS or neuronal cell types such as cortical PV interneurons, midbrain or hindbrain cell types. Despite the low proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infected cells and the fact that infection seemed to be abortive in the hiPSC derived neural cultures, we found evidence for cellular immune activation. In particular, SARS-CoV-2 infection of the neural cultures resulted in the induction of type-III-IFN and IFNλ2/3, but not type-I-IFN or type-II-IFN. This result is in accordance with earlier reports suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 triggers only very mild type-I and type-II-IFN responses, but does trigger a robust type-III-IFN response in cell culture, human airway epithelial cells, ferrets and SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals41,42. In addition, IL-8—a chemotactic factor that attracts leukocytes—was induced in all hiPSC-derived cultures. In lung tissue and peripheral venous blood serum of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients, elevated levels of IL-8 are associated with severe COVID-1943–45. Furthermore, IL-8 has been detected in the CSF of SARS-CoV-2 patients who developed encephalitis, which might be induced by the SARS-CoV-2 associated brain immune response, since SARS-CoV-2 RNA could not be detected in the CSF46. However, how exactly these ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Inclusion of more potential epitopes from other proteins in the MEVC may suffer the limitation of complexity of the construct besides the challenges associated with the synthesis. A recent study focused on the single protein (spike protein) to generate multiple epitopes such as 13 for MHC I and 3 for MHC II epitopes (Bhattacharya et al., 2020); but, this study has the limitation of not considering the B cell epitopes. Another recent study reported the design of subunit vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 that used only CTL epitopes without considering the significance of B-cell or HTL epitopes (Seema, 2020). Some studies have used other proteins of the virus and restrict the analyses to one of these three epitopes (Joshi et al., 2020). The present study has an advantage in providing a potential MEVC as it contains all three types of epitopes such as CTL, HTL and B cell epitopes. This in silico study is an attempt to describe the potential immunogenic target over the structural proteins and to propose a novel MVEC, for providing new rays of hope in the initial phase of vaccine development and subsequent experimental validation to confer protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

      Limitations include use of some non-validated measures, reliance on self-report of technology use, and use of a national database to assess school status. In conclusion, our study shows that, although adolescents’ self-reported technology use increased from prior to the pandemic until Fall 2020 and was associated with poorer mental health, the relationship may be more nuanced than previously reported.

      Epidemiological data on COVID-19, due also to limitations in the currently available technology for COVID-19 diagnosis (i.e., high rates of false negatives with nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs [45]) may not reflect the real incidence of the disease in each setting, and should, in general, be interpreted with extreme caution. Further studies should document knowledge, attitudes, and practices of case finding and contact tracing in Italy as well as in other settings. More accurate, acceptable, and sustainable tools are also needed for COVID-19 diagnosis. Limitations of this study include the retrospective nature of data, possible selection bias toward more symptomatic cases due to the nature of the network, and the limitation in the technology currently available for COVID-19 diagnosis. Although the use of swabs is currently recommended as the “gold standard” for COVID-19 diagnosis, it has as major limitation of a high percentage of false negative cases [45]. Future studies, when better diagnostic tools will be available, should aim to confirm the observations of the present study. Strengths of this study include its pragmatic and descriptive nature, and the involvement of many pediatric centers in the national territory. More clinical and epidemiological studies are needed to further document the real incidence, presentation, risk factors and outcomes of children with COVID-19 infection in different pediatric subpopulations, to better characterize children at higher risk of the ...

      Limitations of Study: The current study, although extensive in regard to immunological analyses performed, is limited by a relatively small COVID-19 patient cohort size (acute phase n = 26, 5-months n = 17, and 9-months n = 13). Here, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in moderately and severely sick COVID-19 patients who required hospitalization, however, we were not able to include asymptomatic or mild cases. Therefore, the longitudinal characteristics and magnitude of the immune responses observed in the current COVID-19 patient cohort may only be applicable to hospitalized patients.

      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.

      Strengths and Limitations: The Zoe platform affords a unique opportunity to prospectively link testing behaviours with incident symptoms in a large user base comprising ∼6% of the UK population. The UMD-Facebook platform, though smaller in size and slightly different in survey design, corroborates temporal trends over in the broader population. To our knowledge, this has enabled the first time-varying estimate of testing rates amongst individuals that qualify for COVID-19 tests over the course of the pandemic. Both platforms could be leveraged to track the testing and knowledge gaps, in real time, allowing the effectiveness of interventions, such as improved messaging on when and where to test, to be assessed. We acknowledge a number of limitations to this study. Digital surveys include selected populations not necessarily representative of the wider population. Such platforms have well-documented biases in demographic age, sex, and socioeconomic factors which we adjusted for in our analyses.18, 32 In addition, digital surveys may not be generalizable, as they may be enriched for health-councious internet-connected participants, and thus underestimate disparities in at-risk demographic groups. We show that symptom-tracking app participants and those with smartphones have higher testing rates than all UMD-Facebook survey respondents. Confounding and measurement bias in this observational study using self-reported covariates and outcomes may also cause us to miss other importan...

      Our study has some limitations, principally that the results are based on computational modeling of COVID-19 pathophysiology, rather than data from patients with COVID-19. Investigating the issues raised here in clinical trials is likely to prove challenging both from an ethical and practical point of view, however, and suitable animal models of COVID-19 pathophysiology to study these questions are yet to emerge (52). In these circumstances, we hope that insights from detailed computational models that recapitulate patient breathing patterns and lung mechanics can provide useful evidence with which to inform current debate.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study has several limitations. The criteria for plasma donation restricted participation to healthy people under 60 years of age. Further, the survey responses showed that most participants had relatively mild COVID-19 disease, although asymptomatic participants were underrepresented and very few were hospitalized. These factors indicate that the results may not be generalizable to populations who are older than 60, have severe disease, have comorbidities, or to asymptomatic patients. Most participants only had one serum sample collected, so there is limited data on the change in antibody titers over time. The variability in the nAb response would require evaluation of larger numbers of convalescent patients in order to yield a better understanding of predictive factors. This study also has several strengths. We present the IgG response in over 200 participants and nAbs in 145 participants. We also collected follow-up data for those participants who had a strong IgG and nAbs response at baseline. The information on illness severity and PCR results from both diagnosis and convalescent time-points provided a fuller clinical picture.

      Our study is subject to multiple limitations. The COG-UK dataset has a limited sequencing coverage across England and cluster sizes detected will under-estimate absolute numbers (Supplementary Figure 12). The dates of country-specific travel restriction guidance was aligned with the date of travel-related case sampling, the earliest date reliably available. The effect of this should not however markedly affect results or conclusions; the period of travel restrictions are long and the effect size seen is large and therefore this discrepancy is unlikely to account for the significant difference observed. Further, most countries accounting for the imported SARS-CoV-2 cases went into a period of a travel restriction over the study period; by using a date later than the date of return from travel, we are more likely to over-represent contacts for countries under ‘travel-restriction’ guidance. Our study evaluates a period of time following a national lockdown and the associated reduced travel would likely exaggerate the diversity of genomes when compared with the COG-UK dataset. Outcomes such as travel and the number of contacts are self-reported by cases which will have inherent biases. Finally, there will be an artificial reduction in cases at the end of the study period when accounting for case incubation period, testing and report, with data provided 3 days after study close.

      4.2 Caveats and areas for further development: By the very nature of the model being a simple representation of a complex system, there are numerous associated caveats to our approach. We restricted our main analysis to only two types of heterogeneity (vulnerability and mixing). In reality, there are many different risk factors affecting transmission dynamics and vaccine uptake, such as age-dependent susceptibility and infectivity. However, we explored two types of heterogeneity alone in order to assess their effects in as simple a setting as possible, without the effects of additional factors. Furthermore, we considered the population split into equal halves. This is relaxed somewhat in further work in the Supplementary Information, in which we show that our qualitative results are robust to this assumption. But a more realistic structure will involve more than two population groups - we outlined above how the analytical framework may be extended to more general population structures. Even extrapolating from the insight that vaccinating mixers first may be optimal for both reducing disease and vaccine escape risk leaves the question of who those mixers are in practice. The group most central to transmission might not simply be a function of age. For example occupation could be taken into account, e.g. those whose roles necessitate contact with others. Another important dimension could be household structure, e.g. those who live with several other people. The interplay betwee...

      Our large-scale COVID-19 longitudinal cohort study of students, faculty, and staff at a university campus allocated testing based on estimated risk of infection, rather than mass surveillance, a strategy that could be utilized in a pandemic setting with resource limitations. Most cases were identified through daily attestation surveys, and participants reporting a recent exposure to a case had the highest positivity rate of 2.4%, followed by 1.4% for participants reporting symptoms. We found that baseline testing had a much lower positivity rate of 0.6%, and identified only 15% of cases. Consistent with our findings, random testing of asymptomatic people at the University of Pittsburgh yielded a positivity rate of only 0.4% [5]. In contrast, at Duke University, surveillance testing of asymptomatic persons identified half of all cases [4]. Several college campus outbreaks have been linked to spread in communities and high-risk groups such as long-term care facility residents, and campus outbreaks are known indicators of broader community transmission [27][28]. In our study, SARS-CoV-2 test positivity rates in the university community were substantially lower than in the surrounding areas. This is likely due in part to increased testing availability, particularly for those without symptoms. However, it is also possible that focused testing of high-risk groups prevented and mitigated campus-wide outbreaks. Outbreak testing was an essential part of our testing strategy. In our st...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      However, this study also had several limitations. As noted, we used cross-sectional data, so results may be biased by unobserved confounding. Our measures of compliance also relied upon self-report data. While participants provided anonymous responses, responses may still be subject to social desirability concerns. Further, though the pandemic is a salient event, the opportunities for non-compliance are many. Individuals may not recall compliance accurately. Guidelines also changed over the study period, which may have influenced responses. Last, we used data from a non-representative (albeit heterogeneous and weighted) sample with substantial attrition rates. High compliers with COVID-19 are likely to be overrepresented in the data, though high levels of compliance have been found in other samples (Ipsos MORI, 2021). Overall, our results suggest that while compliance with some behaviours is higher in general, individuals comply consistently across recommended compliance behaviours. In line with previous studies (Miller et al., 2020; Wright & Fancourt, 2020), this suggests that motivation is an particularly important determinant of compliance behaviour. Interventions that increase or maintain motivation to comply may be particularly effective at reducing transmission of COVID-19.

Our data suggests that a very low percentage of the individuals has been infected, despite the fact of the use of public transportation and daily commuting between localities in the city with higher prevalence of infection.

      Each of these algorithms may be advisable depending on the programmatic goals and resource limitations of community-based SARS-CoV-2 testing programs. Our analysis provides a quantitative framework for public health practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders who are planning, implementing, or evaluating community-based testing programs. A reference guide discussing and applying the results of our analyses to programmatic decisions, along with key priorities, benchmarks, and indicators, is included in Supplementary Table 2. For programs intended to minimize missed cases, algorithms (A) NAAT Only, (C) NAAT Confirmation for Sx/Ag-neg & Asx/Ag-pos, and (D) NAAT Confirmation for Ag-neg are most preferable; selecting between these algorithms depends on tolerance for missed cases and available NAAT capacity. For example, at 10% prevalence, (C) NAAT Confirmation for Sx/Ag-neg & Asx/Ag-pos is estimated to miss 1,409 cases (95% UR: 815-2,100) but save 46 NAATs (95% UR: 29-83) for each case missed. For programs intended to minimize NAAT volume, algorithms (B) Ag Only, (C) NAAT Confirmation for Sx/Ag-neg & Asx/Ag-pos, and (E) Repeat Ag for Ag-neg are most preferable; selecting between these algorithms depends on tolerance for missed cases and available NAAT and antigen test capacity. For example, at 10% prevalence, (E) Repeat Ag for Ag-neg is estimated to result in 550 fewer missed cases (95% UR: 301-854) but require 92,200 more antigen tests (95% UR: 91,200-93,200) than (B) Ag Only. ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has several limitations characteristic of observational studies. First, our data reflects uncontrolled non-random testing and non-random vaccination, both potentially biased across the population. Second, the vaccinated population may differ from the unvaccinated population in its general health status, in its risk of being infected and in its health-seeking behavior. These differences may be both inherent, pre-existing even prior to vaccination, and time-dependent as a result of vaccination itself. Third, during the study period, several viral variants were circulating in Israel. Although the vaccine is expected to be potent against B.1.1.711, which was the most common one12, it is possible that additional variants introduced biases to our estimations of effectiveness across subpopulations, especially if vaccinated at different phases of the epidemic. We address differences in behavior by using the per-test model, which adjusts for differences in the tendency to get tested9, while also comparing the associations identified for the immunization period (after day 28) with those identified in the pre-immunization period for the same population. Yet, behavioral differences which themselves vary with post-vaccination time are harder to correct for. These potential biases are also somewhat minimized due to the rapid pace of freely offered vaccination, together with laboratory results which are also offered free of charge to all members. The high disease rate during the s...

      These benefits of TCZ particularly on mortality were demonstrated by several observational studies as well as reviews including observational studies [7,10], however, such results are questionable in view of the inherent limitations of observational studies in terms of design, in addition to patients’ severity and clinical condition variations [23], furthermore, other reviews failed to demonstrate such benefits, the review by Lan SH et al [25] concluded no additional benefits of TCZ on mortality, mechanical ventilation, and ICU admission, although these results should also be looked at cautiously, in view of the substantial heterogeneity in all three outcomes, and of course the observational nature of the included studies. What was agreed upon by almost all the early studies and reviews was the need for well-designed randomized clinical trials. In our review the outcome of short term (28 – 30 day) mortality showed no statistical significance of TCZ, however, this result should be meticulously examined, as it only reports statistical significance, while overlooking potential clinical benefit, the RR was found to be 0.9, however, the 95% CI was 0.8 – 1.01, with an overall effect p value of 0.09. While statistically insignificant, we should understand that the significance was only missed by 0.01 in the 95% CI, more importantly, the result should not be interpreted as lack of effect, but rather as not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and consequently, a clinically ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are a number of limitations associated with this review. As our search strategy focused on follow-up, the number of included articles that reported baseline findings was limited, particularly regarding SARS-CoV infection, whilst contemporary SARS-CoV-2 papers had limited follow-up length. Furthermore, estimates of proportion are based on the number of tests performed, and not patients infected, which could be affected by selection bias. Similarly, estimates represent people hospitalised with infection, which may not reflect prevalence in non-hospitalised cases. Caution is required in interpreting overall and summary estimates as heterogeneity in estimated proportions was frequently considerable, which was not completely attributable to the study-level features evaluated. It is likely that variability in case mix and severity within studies contributes to the heterogeneity between them, which may be addressed by individual patient data approaches. We defined radiological sequelae extracted from studies regarded to be attributable to inflammatory and fibrotic responses, however these were not always reported specifically or exclusively, and there are limitations of our predefined radiological outcomes. Ground-glass opacities do not necessarily reflect inflammation and could also reflect retractile fibrosis during follow up. Unfortunately, it is not possible to discriminate between the two without histopathology. Internationally standardised approaches to reporting of post...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      While this study highlights strengths of being able to rapidly and remotely assess the impact of various intervention policies on sleep and resting heart rate, there are a few limitations to consider. (1) Only sleep periods between 4-12 hours were analyzed. Shorter sleep periods could increase in frequency with work from home arrangements, but is challenging to detect and distinguish from other brief periods of sedentary behavior, e.g. sitting in bed reading a book or watching television. (2) Oura users typically come from middle to upper class households who could be more cushioned by the impact of COVID-19 and have flexible work arrangements. (3) Sleep quality measures were not obtained, which could be affected by anxiety from the impending loss of jobs or contracting the disease. However, one study showed unchanged or even improved sleep quality during the lockdown, particularly once shift workers and individuals who showed symptoms of COVID-19 were excluded from the analyses 5. (4) As these data were extracted from a large wearable database, we were not able to obtain information about occupations, shift work status, free vs. work days or caregiving responsibilities of these users. Those with additional childcare responsibilities due to school closures or have had a member of the household fall ill might also have had to work late hours in order to catch up on work. Not-withstanding these limitations, our model based on stringency indices was able to capture >50% of the v...

      These results should be interpreted in light of certain limitations. First, the survey was conducted in a sample of early volunteers who signed up with 1Day Sooner in April and May of 2020, the earliest weeks of its creation. Volunteers sampled here may not be representative of all challenge trial volunteers, and those who have subsequently volunteered may be different. We also cannot know what proportion of intended volunteers would pass exclusionary screening and consent to participate in a challenge trial. It is possible that this subset would be small or non-representative of the volunteers characterized in our study, similar to observations that altruistic marrow donors represent only a fraction of those who initially volunteer to donate39. However, we have no basis for assuming what specific changes in the composition of challenge trial volunteers would result in. In addition, our sample of controls, whilst recruited to reflect national United States characteristics established by 2019 census data (including age, gender, education and income), are not truly representative of the United States population as a whole. Nor can we rule out, based on our data, the possibility that challenge trial volunteerism reflects unmeasured biases related to the perception of risks and benefits, such as optimism bias10,40; the so-called preventative or therapeutic fallacy, which reflects a common assumption that any treatment offered by medical professionals must be potentially beneficia...

      Limitations of the study This research is not without limitations. First, this is a cross-sectional study so it is difficult to accurately elucidate causal relationships between gender, and interpersonal proximity to COVID-19 patients and fear of COVID-19. Second, our study did not control which participants were in quarantine zones and which were not. Quarantine can amplify negative psychological reactions to COVID-19 (Rossi et al., 2020). On the other hand, although the sample is large, most of the participants (75.1%) correspond to the central area of the country, which implies that the results could probably describe the population of this region of the country in particular. Additionally, in our sample the presence of mental illnesses was not controlled. Subjects with a mental disorder have been reported to be at higher risk of negative outcomes because of COVID-19 pandemic with respect to the general population (Carmassi et al., 2020). Conclusions and future directions In our study, we aimed to explore the relationship between sociodemographic factors and fear of COVID-19 in a Cuban population. We identified that gender and knowing a person positive for COVID-19 significantly increases fear levels in the Cuban population. In future studies, it is important to explore other predictors of the negative impact of COVID-19 on mental health in the Cuban population, such as age, socioeconomic status, exposure to the media (television, digital social networks and print media), ...

      Weaknesses of this study include use of temperature from the capital city which may vary widely across regions and the limitations of recorded Sars-CoV-2 data. While the use of deaths as the primary endpoint is likely to be the most accurate measure for a large population, it does increase the time between observed parameters and outcomes. The infection fatality rate is also assumed to be static, but is likely to decrease in response to improved treatment and novel therapies, such as the use of Dexamethasone.[20] Calculations using the viral reproductive rate are compound in nature, and a small variation in the number of infections at one point in time will have a large bearing on the number of infections at a later date. However, we believe any predictive model should centre on prediction of the viral reproductive rate, which though widely variable, is predicted by the variables evaluated here, in particular the degree of lockdown. As the focus of investigation turns more to emergent variants, this model could benefit the understanding of their effects in the context of the pandemic as a whole.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our sample size for the control group was small, and this limitation could have led to this finding. A major limitation of our study is the lack of documentation of clinical and subclinical pulmonary thromboembolic phenomena in the case and control groups. This was highly probable, given the thrombo-inflammatory milieu, and the concomitantly existing cerebral thrombosis. It is possible that this was more common in the case group and could have contributed to the mortality. We did not take pulmonary thromboembolism into account in our analysis, as complete data on CT pulmonary angiography was not available in many patients. In conclusion, our comparison of a thromboembolic cerebral presentation of COVID-19 with a clinically non-thromboembolic presentation of COVID-19, demonstrated higher D-Dimer levels, and a higher mortality in the absence of prominent respiratory compromise, in the former group. The higher mortality was possibly due to the severity of stroke and presence of proximal LVOs. We could not compare mortality in COVID-19 associated strokes with a cohort of non-COVID associated strokes in the same period, as our regular admissions were severely limited during the pandemic. A meta-analysis of stroke in COVID-19 has highlighted that the mean mortality rate among stroke patients with COVID-19 infection was 46.7% compared to only 8.7% among those without COVID-19 infection.(26)

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      However, a limitation of this analysis is the use of institutional affiliation as an indicator of author nationality. This means that an African author based in a non-African institution would be classified as non-African and a non-African working in an African institution would be classified as African. This misclassification underestimates the contribution of Africa’s large scientific diaspora. Additionally, there was disparity in the geographical representation of African first and last authors. The top four author affiliations were all South African institutions, with the University of Cape Town as the leading institution with the highest number of first and last authors. This is an indicator of the small number of research institutions on the continent and the uneven distribution of these institutions. Over 13% of articles identified were published in the preprint servers. However, for articles that were peer-reviewed and published in journals, we found that 3 African journals featured in the top 15 journals publishing COVID-19 articles on Africa; Pan African Medical journal, South African Medical Journal and African journal of Primary Health Care & Family medicine. This is promising as availability of local journals where African researchers can publish their work can increase publication output. Most of the research work that is undertaken in Africa is meant for the local audience and addresses local concerns and may not be fairly represented by western publishers. So,...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      An important limitation of our study is that the surveillance data paint an incomplete picture of the first wave of the outbreak, as cases were underreported due to selective testing and data collection was limited. We used the hospitalisation rate per 100,000 population as a marker of outbreak progression, but this limits the distinction that can be made between risk of infection and risk of severe disease requiring hospital admission. In addition, hospitalisations and deaths among already notified cases may also have been underreported, and we were unable to match all notifications to the municipal register. Furthermore, absence of key individual socio-demographic, socio-economic, and clinical characteristics limits the inferences that can be made about causal factors on an individual patient level. For example, we used city district as an imperfect proxy for SES, but SES at the community or individual level within each city district may have been different. By further stratifying groups by migration background and complementing this with qualitative research (for example, through community focus groups) more insight can be gained into which community-specific targeted prevention strategies may help minimise the disproportionate distribution of COVID-19 in Amsterdam. Our study is the first in the Netherlands to link surveillance data with registration data on migration background to demonstrate the unequal distribution of the burden of COVID-19 within the city of Amsterdam....

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has several limitations. First, despite a target trial emulation design and complementary causal inference analyses, it is impossible to fully mitigate biases inherent to observational data. We recognize that in the post-implementation group, unmeasurable or unmeasured confounding factors may influence the estimates for counterfactual treatment effect. This is addressed by the interrupted time series analysis, and we are reassured that this complementary analysis does corroborate the ATT estimate. However, it is possible that unmeasured factors influenced these estimates. Although such interventions are uncommon for ambulatory patients in our health system, we were unable to measure concomitant prescription of other repurposed therapies such as corticosteroids. In addition, date of symptom onset was not available precluding use as inclusion criterion for control group patients. Although our integrated health system provides care for more than two-thirds of all COVID-19 hospitalizations in our region, it is possible that some patients may have been admitted to an ED or hospital outside of our system after testing, resulting in outcome misclassification. Despite intentional and programmatic efforts at both the state and integrated healthcare network level to address healthcare disparities in MAb delivery, we did observe a significantly lower rate of MAb infusion to patients from communities of color. This can be partially understood by the dramatic intercurrent declin...

      However, this process could also represent a scientific bias that can bring into question the neutrality of the scientific research process, especially as many articles, particularly those in Chinese, did not consider the methodological limitations. Similarly, as China’s research and medical communities are not independent from politics (Chen, 2020), political factors may have played a role in the choice of papers written and published, potentially neglecting those that found negative results. These two factors: politics and the predominance of healthcare workers, as opposed to professional researchers, as authors, may also have limited the scope of articles concerning resilience issues such as finance or power structures, which can be sensitive and politicised. Inequalities were largely ignored in the selected studies. Many of the articles that examined hospital strategies to address healthcare worker health issues emphasised the physical and mental health of nurses, while often neglecting the issues faced by other healthcare providers, including doctors. One possible reason for this phenomenon is that doctors may have more difficulty discussing problems encountered in work and sharing mental health concerns with colleagues (Galbraith et al. 2020). Similarly, gender issues and differences were not discussed in the selected papers. Despite significant gender gaps existing in healthcare professions-men being overrepresented in senior healthcare roles, and underrepresented in n...

      A limitation of the study is that it is from a single center. In conclusion, our data suggest patients can safely continue routine infusions at outpatient centers during the COVID-19 pandemic as the seroprevalence at our center was low; longitudinal follow-up of these patients would confirm this point. This information is useful to practitioners as many patients have opted to delay or discontinue infusions during the pandemic, risking disease flares and complications thereof, or switched to home infusions, which has been associated with adverse outcomes.2,3 This is all the more important in our urban cohort given the disparity of seroprevalence by socio-economic factors. Finally, the functionality and durability of immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as COVID-19 vaccines, remain to be determined in IBD patients, who were not included in COVID-19 vaccine trials.

      Strengths and Limitations: The strength of this study is that it not only evaluates the RNA extraction free method for molecular testing of SARS-COV-2 of salivary sample, but also validates and compares different RT – PCR kits for extraction free method of saliva sample. Not many studies have evaluated these. Limitation of this study is that the study did not consider the number of days the patient has been infected or symptomatic in analysis, as the viral load in the saliva varies with the stages of infection which might have affected the results of the study.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has several limitations. First, the study population was restricted to patients in hospitals that voluntarily participated in the QIP. Therefore, a selection bias cannot be excluded. Second, the diagnoses of the outpatient pneumonia cases recorded in files E and F were not classified as in form 1 and may not be sufficiently robust. However, files E and F contained the start date of diagnosis and date of visit and allowed us to extract the outpatient cases newly diagnosed with pneumonia. Therefore, the trend for the number of outpatient pneumonia cases was approximately assessed. Despite these limitations, our research provided important information on the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on CAP inpatients using a large-scale Japanese database. Further studies are warranted to identify the long-term impact of the decrease of inpatient CAP cases on patient outcomes and health care systems. In conclusion, we showed a marked reduction of inpatient CAP cases during the COVID-19 epidemic in Japan using large-scale administrative data. The decrease in the year-over-year ratio of the number of inpatient cases was greater for the milder pneumonia cases.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      [18] Our study has several limitations. We conducted our interviews prior to the release of vaccine study data and the resultant EUA. [13] We were not able to assess whether these events changed views. Additionally, in the testing sample, we were only able to interview a small number of those who chose not to be tested, so we may have understated objections to testing among the target population. Lastly, we reported data from two different studies whose populations were distinct in terms of age, testing accessibility and housing situation. This could also be a strength, since the similarity of responses between the two samples increases generalizability. In a qualitative study of homeless-experienced individuals, we found that participants were interested in COVID-19 testing and vaccines and found CHOW-mediated mobile outreach to be effective and acceptable. Participants’ concerns about the vaccine mirrored those of the US general public. [19] However, homeless individuals face structural barriers stemming from a lack of housing coupled with a disproportionate burden of structural racism and discrimination based on social status and behavioral health characteristics. Our data suggest that providing mobile testing, incentives, and trusted members of communities (CHOWs) to provide information and answer questions can mitigate barriers to access and uptake of both COVID testing and vaccines.

      Results from OddPub: Thank you for sharing your code and data.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our results come with a number of limitations. While our estimates of seroreversion with the EI assay were in line with previously published data (10, 27, 28), we tested baseline and follow-up samples with the EI assay at different times and with different reagent lots (inter-lot coefficient of variation of 30%, Fig. S4). Furthermore, our internal quality control (pooled COVID-19 positive patient serum) in the follow-up lot had significantly lower readout values than most lots used for baseline samples (Supplementary Appendix section S2). To explore the potential effects of this lot-to-lot variability in our assessment of EI performance over time, we conducted sensitivity analyses by matching tests run in one baseline batch that had similarly low readout estimates as the follow-up batch (Fig. S5) and found similar estimates of the proportion who sero-reverted and time-varying sensitivity (Fig. 3a and Supplement). While this reagent inter-lot variability did not appear to have great impacts on our specific results, standardization of readout values (e.g., through the use of monoclonal antibodies) can help ensure compatibility between lots and labs. Secondly, statistics on changes in sero-status and test response may have been influenced by (re-)exposures during the period between baseline and follow-up visits. We attempted to account for the observed 17% seroconversion rate among initially seronegatives in the model of time-varying sensitivity but were unable to do so explicit...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations: There are several limitations in this work. Firstly, the sample size of the study is small compared to the total number of people in the U.S. that have contracted COVID-19. However, this study benefits from diverse recruiting strategies and thus has representation from 22 out of the 50 states in the country. A second limitation is that this study relies on participant’s ability to recall and share their experience with COVID-19. There are well-known limitations of self-report-based studies such as recall bias. However, we believe this is minimized because majority of subjects in this study experienced symptom onset in March 2020 and were recruited between the months of May and June 2020, this means that participants were recruited about 2-months after they contracted the virus. In addition, the average duration of illness was 4.5-weeks across all subjects and participation in this study required recovery from the illness, hence we expect that majority of subjects participated within their first month after recovery thus maximizing their chance to accurately remember their experience. 3. Conclusion: It is well-known that many people do recover from COVID-19, however, results from this study show that the journey for some may be long and uncomfortable. To support an accurate depiction of the journey with COVID-19, it is important to recognize that the recovery time can be more than 2-weeks for mild symptoms. In addition, a notable percent of COVID-19 survivors are ...

      Limitations: There are limitations to this study, which should be taken into account by the reader. First, the response rate was rather low although similar to that of other surveys among individuals with mental disorders.6,8 However, a main strength of the study was the possibility to weigh the results based on attrition, which will have reduced the impact of potential selection bias. To further reduce selection bias, invitation to the survey was based on random sampling. Second, the validity of self-reported symptoms and psychological well-being may be questionable if respondents have poor insight or reduced cognitive function. However, self-reported and clinician-rated psychiatric symptoms generally exhibit high concordance,37,38 which supports the validity of the findings of this study. Third, invitations to participate were distributed 11 weeks after the lockdown was lifted, which could have led to recall bias. To reduce the impact of this potential bias, we included a brief summary of the lockdown’s events and restrictions in the questionnaire. Relatedly, patients’ general attitudes could influence their perceptions of the reasons for the deterioration of their mental health and the reported reasons may therefore not necessarily reflect the impact of the lockdown per se. For instance, patients who were generally unsatisfied with their psychiatric treatment may have consciously or subconsciously used the survey as an opportunity to voice this opinion and thus have attrib...

      This study has limitations: the data refer only to the Brazilian public health system because data from the private health system are not available, which might lead to an overestimation of the decrease rates. As secondary data, the veracity of the information provided depends on proper registration. Although regression analyses that could help explain the differences in the number of surgeries between subgroups and regions were not performed, some justifications for the temporal trends of reduction in surgical procedures are speculated, such as the correlation with decrees and laws of state and municipal governments that imposed the postponement of elective surgeries.

      Given the limitations of our current dataset, we did not explore these avenues but these could provide valuable insights, prospectively or retrospectively, for learning the dynamics of the COVID-19 spread. In terms of methodology, there are several refinements possible. We only focused on simulation based on assumed parameter choices such as R0, and not on any formal inference or hypothesis testing. One interesting avenue could be to construct a unified framework, through likelihood based constructions for network-based models and employ a frequentist or Bayesian estimation procedure and obtain uncertainty quantifications. Furthermore, one could explore potential stochastic formulations of the deterministic SIR-type models that can accommodate flexible noise scenarios such as nonlinearity or non-stationarity (Bhadra et al., 2011). When we started this work in March 2020, given the lack of tests and the large number of asymptomatic carriers, the strategy for slowing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic had changed from containment to mitigation (Parodi and Liu, 2020). In essence, the focus was on slowing the further spread of the virus, reducing the anticipated surge in health care use, providing patients with the right level of care to maximize the likelihood that the majority of patients will only require time-limited home isolation, expanding testing capability to increase available hospital capacity, and tailoring isolation to minimize transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

      Our study has some important limitations: it took place in a very specific geographic area (two hospitals in the Mediterranean island of Majorca), and the number of patients is small. In addition, patients were admitted at different times during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and received different therapies, which may have altered the outcomes. In conclusion, ferritin, D-dimer, CRP, NLR, and cytokines and cytokine receptors IL-6, IL-1Ra, sIL-2rα (sCD25), IL-18, and IL-10 contribute, in association with clinical data, to the early identification of patients at risk of critical COVID-19 and susceptible of a more intensive therapy. Further studies evaluating these biomarkers and their ability for predicting critical COVID-19 are needed.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has several limitations. First, this was a cross-sectional study that captured data from participants at the time of hospital admission and did not track their clinical status over time. Thus, we do not have information on their hospital admission course, discharge or outcomes during or after hospitalization. Given the cross-sectional nature of the study, we cannot comment on whether patients presenting with mild symptoms to a public hospital in Peru have greater risk of worse outcomes if they had a neurological symptom at disease onset. Second, the study did not assess temporal patterns of neurological symptoms, thus we do not know which symptoms may have presented first and in what sequence. Third, this was a population of patients presenting with mild respiratory symptoms to a public hospital in Lima, Peru, thus we are unable to extrapolate results to other geographic regions of Peru, such as more rural regions, or to patients with moderate-to-severe symptoms of COVID-19 in Peru. Moreover, at the time of this study, rt-PCR testing was not widely available in public hospitals in Lima, Peru, thus serological antibody testing for confirmation of COVID-19 exposure was considered the most appropriate measure for diagnosis of acute COVID-19. Because we followed the diagnostic and management guidelines of public Peruvian hospitals, patients with a positive anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM or IgG and compatible COVID-19 symptoms were considered to have acute COVID-19. Thus, there is ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      We must note some limitations to the current studies. Both used online panel samples, which may not be reflective of the wider UK population. However, we would note that our samples were matched to the UK population in terms of age and gender, and the proportion of participants willing to receive a vaccine was in line with weighted population estimates reported in a contemporaneous YouGov survey (88.8% in February 2021; Ansell et al., 2021). Readers should also be mindful that results from our UK studies may not generalise to other countries, as many local contextual factors can influence vaccine hesitancy (WHO, 2014). For example, the development of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine has been hailed by the media as a ‘British’ success story (e.g., Nuki, 2020) and this may lead to pro-vaccine attitudes being linked with national identity in the UK. In conclusion, we find that messages outlining the known risks and benefits of COVID-19 vaccines (with varying levels of detail) have little impact on vaccination intentions or beliefs about COVID-19 vaccines in UK online samples but some messages increase reported understanding of the risk and benefits. We also found no evidence that emphasising the need for continuing protective behaviours post-vaccination undermined vaccination intentions or perceptions of efficacy. These results indicate that there are no substantial effects of transparent communication on reducing vaccination intentions. However, they also highlight the need for t...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are some limitations in our study. Firstly, our simulated population is an approximation to the communities in LMICs and is limited by the lack of empirical evidence from LMICs. Therefore, a majority of the parameters are set heuristically rather than by empirical evidence. Our simulation might be improved using detailed demographic data for LMICs, such as those collected from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) in the UK. Secondly, like many simulation studies, we had to choose our parameters from empirical studies that are not consistent with each other. (Omori et al., 2020) This difficulty is most pronounced when we are setting the parameters for age-dependent susceptibility and asymptomatic rate of the infected. Lastly, we scaled up our model by replicating simulations on independent contact networks (200,000 individuals divided into 200 populations of 1,000 individuals) due to the computation constraint of fitting large network models. Compared to simulations on larger networks, (Hinch et al., 2020) our strategy could not capture preparedness triggered by cases from nearby communities or repeated introduction of cases. A simulation framework that simulates large contact networks might provide insights to better coordinate policies for large communities.

      The same limitations characterized a subsequent analysis of seroconverted individuals within the Qatar population (only available in preprint form)16 limiting generalisation of conclusion to the general population. As the risk of infection is closely tied to intensity of exposure, our study allows to overcome these limitations by sampling a representative sample of the population with a follow-up covering into a high incidence phase having occurred several months after serological assessment. In a retrospective analysis of a de-identified data from commercial laboratories including over 3 million US individuals, seropositive individuals were less likely of being tested positive to SARS-CoV-2, starting from 30 days after serological testing17, although follow-up was limited (median of <2 months) and results were unadjusted for confounders. Promising preliminary results have been reported for vaccines using lipid nanoparticle-mRNA technology with protection rate above 90% after two injections after a median follow-up of 2 months30,31. In the present study, at least a similar rate of protection was conferred by seroconversion and lasted for a mean period of over 8 months. This study has some limitations. First, not all individuals included in SEROCoV-POP were randomly selected from the community, because original participants were invited to come with their household members. However, characteristics of participants were previously compared with participants of community-surveys...

      Several limitations should be considered when interpreting the findings of this study. As mentioned previously, vaccine acceptability tends to decrease over time following the onset of a pandemic, and responses from July of 2020 may overestimate intention to vaccinate. Also, the item assessing intention to vaccinate was posed in a hypothetical manner as no vaccine was yet available. As such, perceptions and intentions may have changed since that time, in particular with regards to media coverage of different vaccine manufacturers and vaccines currently approved or in development.

      Our study has certain limitations. First, while we focus on a broad interconnected health system and affiliated laboratories and receive testing information from laboratories that are connected to the Epic EHR, it is possible that some of the non-participating laboratory data are not available from testing in the outpatient setting. However, in manual chart review of a sample of patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 without a reported positive PCR or antigen test by 2 clinicians, all such records were for patients undergoing SARS-CoV-2 testing with the diagnosis assigned for the clinical or laboratory encounter to obtain the test. Second, we cannot account for differences in coding practices at other institutions. However, our study that includes a large integrated multi-hospital health system, which increases the generalizability of our observations. Moreover, a larger variation in coding of diagnoses for SARS-CoV-2 infection surveillance would further highlight the lack of reliability of the measures.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study also comes with several limitations. First, antibody testing methods have imperfect accuracy. We corrected seroprevalence analyses for the test sensitivity and specificity to overcome this limitation. Second, certain social groups such as, for instance, non-Italian residents might have been underrepresented. While we corrected all analyses for differential participation in known groups, we could not prevent participation bias of unknown sources such as, for example, COVID-19-related mortality and possible self-selection of severely ill individuals. A third limitation is the questionnaire self-administration: while this was the only way to collect essential information, response bias might affect some analyses. For instance, symptom onset estimation might not be totally accurate as the question was not specific to each possible symptom. Similarly, we cannot exclude that symptoms were due to competitive seasonal diseases such as flu or allergies. A nearly 30% seroprevalence is a large figure compared to other studies.[4] This estimate aligns with those of nearby Italian regions.[13, 14] However, the Manaus case shows that it might still result in a non-negligible underestimation of the true infection rate.[15] Several reasons suggest that our estimate should be considered as a lower bound of the real seroprevalence. First, the survey had missed people who already died. In 2020, the raw excess all-cause mortality rate over the previous five years was between +32.8% and...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The limitations of amplicon-based sequencing have resulted in discordant single nucleotide variants as well as frequently missed variants (10, 31), and capture-based methods represent an important tool for addressing any missing variation. As the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing and new variants are emerging, global implementation of robust SARS-CoV-2 sequencing programs is needed to further characterize the viral genome and to inform public health responses (9). Profiling the SARS-CoV-2 Microbiome: Only a few studies evaluating the microbiome associated with COVID-19 patients have been conducted to date. Overall, our microbial profiling overlaps with previous studies using shotgun sequencing and metagenomic analysis on nasopharyngeal bacterial composition (32, 33) with commensal respiratory species detected such as Streptococcus, Veillonella, Prevotella, Rothia, Actinomyces, Haemophilus, and Neisseria species. While one study found decreased diversity in SARS-CoV-2 positive specimens, reporting the vast majority of reads mapped to a single organism in each sample, which could be explained by the necessity of the higher coverage of Nanopore sequencing (13), we found no significant difference in richness or evenness between CVP and CVN samples; however, CVN samples exhibited a trend of lower richness. In addition, Mostafa et al. reported higher abundance of Corynebacterium accolens and decreased abundance of Propionibacteriaceae in CVP, which are common skin commensals, resp...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The primary limitation of this study is that the available data encompasses a single patient. Confounding factors include the multiple clinical treatments that the patient received. Bacterial pneumonia was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics from D3-40. Antifungals were given to treat oral candidiasis D45-52, and methylprednisolone (steroid) was administered from D41-57 for eosinophilic bronchiolitis. In summary, the patient was on steroid medication and had just completed antifungal therapy when they retested positive for SARS-CoV-2 between D54-56. Additionally, previous studies indicate T-cell immune responses, which were not analyzed in this study, might play roles in clinical outcomes. A strength of this study is the use of three serological assays to monitor antibody development. Intriguingly, only S1-based IgA titers clearly increased via ELISA during the recurrent infection period, consistent with Nab titers using live virus (Table 1). Although the pseudotyped NI assay detected Nabs, potential discrepancies from live virus-based NI assay, as in this study, indicate that caution is needed when interpreting pseudotyped NI data. In summary, this report follows the clinical and serological timeline of a patient with severe and persistent COVID-19. This patient demonstrated viable virus growth at least 24 days after symptom onset. These findings suggest that separate discontinuation of transmission-based precaution guidelines for patients with persistent symptoms and ex...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The limitations of this study include the small number of potential thrombotic adverse events and the limited safety data currently available for the vaccine. There may be under-reporting by healthcare professionals and patients; the quality of reports may play a significant role that may cause false negative or false positive safety signals. Many confounders and incomplete data together with reporting biases may also limit the generalisability of the findings [13]. However, this study has provided valuable information about this current topical area from a trusted database. It has identified a very low number of investigated adverse reactions linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine that could be attributed to multiple causative factors and not merely the vaccines. The EMA’s Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) met on 18 March 2021. It concluded that the AstraZeneca vaccine was safe, effective and the benefits outweighed the risks and so urged people to accept the vaccination when offered [29]. Conducting further analyses based on more detailed thrombotic adverse event reports, including patients’ characteristics and comorbidities, may enable assessment of the causality with higher specificity. It must be undertaken by experienced personnel to identify any real risks associated with any and all COVID-19 vaccines.

      Limitations: There are several limitations for this study. We have employed the latest and largest GWAS summary statistics to date for COVID-19, however the data is based on meta-analysis of a large number of separate studies, and the samples may be heterogeneous. For example, the baseline clinical features, demographics, comorbid disease patterns etc. of patients or controls may differ across cohorts. The control population were unscreened, and therefore asymptomatic patients or those with mild symptoms may be missed. Hospitalization is in general a reasonably good proxy for moderate or severe illness, but the criteria for hospitalization may still differ across countries and cohorts. Although the sample size of COVID-19 GWAS is already quite large, the number of critically ill and hospitalized cases may still be relatively limited when compared to the current standards. As such, a lack of association may be due to lack of power. The same also applies to GWAS of CM disorders or traits with smaller sample sizes. MR is a highly useful methodology that has been successfully applied in cardiovascular medicine 67 and other fields to evaluate causal relationships. However, it is not without limitations. One concern of MR is horizontal pleiotropy (an instrument associated with the outcome not through the exposure), which we have tried to address with different methodologies of different principles. However, each method has its own assumptions (e.g. InSIDE assumption for MR-Egger, s...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations of this study include its small size, the lack of replication cohort, and the possibility that COVID-19 may itself affect telomere length. Our primary outcome, ILA, may precede COVID infection. Patients were hospitalized prior to FDA-approved therapies, yet half received steroids. Still, this study reveals significant respiratory symptoms and morbidity associated with severe COVID-19. Dyspnea, as noted by most survivors14, correlates more strongly with muscle strength and frailty than ILAs, suggesting persistent multisystemic dysfunction. Additional prospective studies are needed to characterize temporal changes of post-COVID-19 fibrotic abnormalities, and clinical trials are needed to investigate therapeutic options to promote its resolution.

      Strengths and limitations: To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to examine the consequences of the Swedish COVID-19 strategy in a random sample of urban older adults. Further strengths include the use of an ad hoc questionnaire developed by a multidisciplinary team of experts, and the study sample coming from a well-characterized population-based study. Being based on data from Sweden, the study also provides a unique opportunity for comparison with other settings, as the Swedish strategy against COVID-19 differed from most countries. Certain limitations also need to be highlighted. We did not have recent pre-pandemic measures of physical and mental health. Thus, despite participants being asked to answer the questions for the period since March, the cross-sectional design does not allow us to assess temporal relationship between the onset of the pandemic and the studied outcomes. The findings from this cohort of older adults living in an affluent neighborhood of Stockholm may not be generalizable to the entire Swedish population. However, these findings could be viewed as a best-case scenario, and the identified collateral damage would be expected to be of higher magnitude in less urban and affluent parts of the country.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The limitations of this study are noteworthy. The small sample size for each treatment was limited, which impacted the resolution of mean log reduction curves and reduced the power to detect statistically significant differences in mean log reductions. Despite this limitation, there was consistency within each treatment and sampling interval, with all mean standard deviations being less than 0.50. The samplers used were not size selective, thereby may have captured all aerosol size fractions and potentially captured larger aerosols outside the respiratory size range. This limitation was partially controlled for by adjusting the calculated number of DNA copies to align the Flairosol spray bottle aerosol distribution with the distribution of aerosols generated by sneezing, talking, and coughing and which partially or totally evaporated. This study did not investigate how artificial fog may affect the propagation distance of respirable aerosols, nor the disinfection properties of glycerin or glycol on tagged DNA tracers. Only one type of each glycerin-containing and glycol-containing artificial fog fluid was used for this study. There are a large range of manufacturers and fluid types available, each with slightly different liquid compositions and percentages of glycerin or glycol. The impact of different liquid compositions and percentages of glycerin or glycol were outside the scope of this study.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study is subject to several limitations. First, data are cross-sectional and therefore longitudinal trends in combustible cigarette and e-cigarette use could not be assessed. Second, all data are self-reported, including retrospective reports of use patterns, and therefore subject to recall bias. Third, questions about risk perceptions combined perceived risk of getting COVID-19 and having a more serious case, so the answers to the individual components of this question cannot be ascertained. Finally, data were collected at the end of August 2020, when COVID-19 cases were lower compared to Spring 2020 and Fall 2020, and therefore participant behaviors may not be reflective of behaviors at other times during the pandemic. In conclusion, this survey of a large nationally-representative sample of cigarette smokers and e-cigarette users in the U.S. revealed a range of product use behaviors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with some trying to quit product use and others increasing their product use. Most combustible cigarette smokers and e-cigarette users perceived higher COVID-19-related health risks as a result of their product use, factors that appeared to be associated with attempts to quit product use. Outreach to smokers and e-cigarette users to provide cessation assistance during this time may help to support quit attempts and reduce stress-related increases in product use.

      To mitigate this limitation, we model the uncertainty in our estimates with extensive and conservative probabilistic sensitivity analysis. Second, there are other (unaccounted) factors that could impact the risk of ALD-related decompensation. The significant turmoil of this moment in the United States caused by COVID-19, and the associated economic and political stressors, may have had disproportionate impact on individuals at increased risk of adverse health outcomes.29 Individuals often increase alcohol intake to cope with emotional stress and chronic uncertainty; these coping mechanism have unclear long-term consistency30. To address this concern, our increased consumption scenario only increases drinking for one year whereupon drinking transitions return to the pre-2020. Third, this modelling study does not account for the impact of COVID-19 infection on those with pre-existing cirrhosis or those at-risk for future decompensation. Fourth, we do not model the impact of adverse trends on alcohol consumption on specific population subgroups. Given recent complementary results by Barbosa et al.,16 a particular focus on at risk groups including females, Black people, and households with children, should be taken as increased morbidity and mortality beyond the status quo should be expected to be concentrated in populations with the greatest increase in consumption and fibrosis susceptibility. While the study does not specifically address the impacts in at risk communities, the ...

      Another important limitation of our study is that we lacked data on chronic medical conditions pre-dating the hospitalization known to cause lymphopenia (e.g., hematologic malignancies, autoimmune disorders), however, we expect these conditions to be rare and not differential across the three respiratory illnesses. The lymphopenia we consistently observed across the three illnesses in our study may reflect a non-specific sign of illness severity, with limited diagnostic utility in identifying underlying etiologies.5

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study has limitations. Generalisation of the estimates obtained in this study must be cautious. Our study recruited volunteer patients who reported persistent symptoms. This might have selected younger, more educated, and more often female patients willing to share their experiences with others and/or with more severe conditions. Nonetheless, we were able to involve and validate our instrument in a diverse sample of participants by using a broad media campaign and a call for participation on the “TousAntiCOVID” app.41 Second, our study may not be appropriate for examining the longitudinal impact of the disease. Although we recruited patients with various times from symptom onset, the assessment of symptoms and impact was cross-sectional. Future work following up patients with standardised, validated tools is required to investigate the duration of the disease and the course of the symptoms over time. Finally, in view of the limited number of patients who were hospitalised in ICUs in our study, we cannot confirm that our tool is suitable for measuring the consequences of ICU on patients. According to the United Kingdom Office for National Statistics, 10% of people who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 still experience symptoms after three months, including those whose acute infection was asymptomatic.42 With about 100 million cases of COVID-19 worldwide, long covid may well affect millions of patients. The severe burden of illness and the impairment of quality of life associa...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are limitations to our work. First, though all patients completed the mRS evaluation, the sickest patients were unable to complete other metrics due to limited function. Thus, secondary outcomes may actually be worse than what we were able to measure. Additionally, family members of patients who did poorly may be less motivated to participate in research. Second, certain outcomes may be confounded by unmeasured factors. For example, return to work may be impacted by the current economic environment. Anxiety, depression, fatigue and sleep may be similarly impacted by unmeasured societal, economic and environmental pandemic-associated factors. Comparing COVID-19 patients to similar community members without COVID-19 would help quantify the impact of some of these unmeasured factors. Third, though we identified high rates of disability among both neurological COVID-19 patients and controls, this study was not designed to determine whether the deficits measured by these metrics are static or represent ongoing injury as suggested by some “long-hauler” and post-COVID literature39. Since cognitive impairment and mood abnormalities occur in over 50% of ARDS survivors40, it is possible that the level of disability we are documenting is not specific to SARS-CoV-2, but rather a result of factors related to critical viral illness. Additional one-year follow-up in this cohort may help clarify the trajectory of recovery. Fourth, the telephone MOCA is meant to screen for cognitive imp...

      Strengths and limitations: Although we adopted rigorous and systematic approach to conducting the review, our study has some limitations. As the coronavirus pandemic is such a recent and rapidly advancing area of research, the date of coverage was very limited i.e.one year. As this is an international systematic review, data has been synthesised from a range of countries. However, healthcare systems can vary considerably and so caution should be exercised when considering the generalisability of the findings.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      A possible limitation for human application might be that currently used therapeutic doses, which have been proven to be safe, will not lead to high enough human systemic exposures. As there are no human pharmacokinetic data available yet, systematic PK studies proving that exposures similar to these that have been effective in mice can also be achieved in humans and are well tolerated. Similarly, like other antiviral drugs, ACF may be administered early during the infection to enable the maximum effect. Specifically, an elderly patient population may significantly benefit from a new antiviral treatment option, as mortality in the age group 70+ is significantly increased compared to younger groups. In addition, the antiviral effect against other betacoronaviruses argues that further research into the therapeutic potential of ACF may provide protection against future zoonotic infections of betacoronaviruses. The unique mode of inhibition of ACF will also serve as a blueprint to develop new, improved drugs with a broadband activity using structure-based drug development to prepare for future coronavirus outbreaks.

      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: Please consider improving the rainbow (“jet”) colormap(s) used on page 22. At least one figure is not accessible to readers with colorblindness and/or is not true to the data, i.e. not perceptually uniform.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The findings should be considered in the context of several data limitations. I did not derive individual-level data to estimate hospitalization risks, mortality rate, and COVID-19 transmission. Moreover, several studies (6, 7) indicate racial and ethnic disparity by health systems increases the risk of getting sick, hospitalized, and dying from COVID-19. Future studies should examine vaccination in different races by age group to estimate who should get the vaccine first. Additionally, the data does not include nonpharmaceutical public health control measures, which would be an essential indicator to control daily cases (8). Conclusion: The vaccination was started at the beginning of a “3rd wave“in Tennessee, and by December, and January SARS-CoV2 positive cases and hospitalizations increased considerably. This work has concentrated on the Tennessee’s dynamics COVID-19. It concludes that the vaccine should be optimally targeted at the elderly in the first step, indicating that vaccination reduces daily cases for the whole population, while reduces hospitalization and death rate in the older population. This study, consistent with the previous studies (8), shows mRNA Covid-19 vaccines have a protective effect for blocking transmission even after a single dose. This study also indicates that prioritizing the vaccination of the elderly is a practical approach for reducing the number of deaths and hospitalization.

      Study Limitations: Discharge cognitive data was not available for 32/77 patients, limiting the ability to determine the true prevalence of cognitive deficits in our sample, although there were no demographic/cliincal differences between the 45 with and 32 without discharge cognitive data. Further research is necessary regarding the underlying etiology of the cognitive deficits as imaging results and the effects of psychiatric illness5 were not addressed in this sample. Finally, this sample included a relatively sick group of patients from the first wave of COVID-19; findings may not apply to milder disease presentations or from subsequent waves of illness.

      As noted by Bovign and colleagues66, with some caveats, the phenotypic consistency of associations between the IL-6R genetic instrument and pharmacological effect of tocilizumab enable potential use of the IL-6R instrument to investigate therapeutic or adverse effects of tocilizumab. Although a previous report showed largely neutral effects of tocilizumab compared to placebo in hospitalised COVID-19 patients67, two recent trials (REMAP-CAP68 and RECOVERY69) with a longer follow-up period showed beneficial effects on survival at 90 days, consistent with the prediction of a protective effect using the tocilizumab-mimicking IL-6R genetic instrument in the present study and the previous report. Major strengths of our study include use of both genome-wide and local genetic instruments for MR analysis, the proteome-wide genetic colocalisation tests to nominate additional proteins of therapeutic relevance, and the expanded list of COVID-19 phenotypes analysed. We showed consistency of the association of ABO with the different COVID-19 phenotypes for both instrument selection strategies. Proteome-wide colocalisation tests implicated additional proteins that likely lacked sufficient genetic instruments to be detected by the multi-instrument GSMR method. For our top-ranked association with the CD209 protein, we provide experimental evidence for a mechanism that implicates CD209 as having a potential causal role in disease pathology. Our experiments provide both direct evidence of bioch...

      Limitations of the study: Our goal is to demonstrate the potential impact of homophily on observed dynamics, rather than to make concrete quantitative predictions about actual reported incidence curves. Consequently, the model presented is only meant as a simplified example, and many potentially critical details are omitted, such as demographic or socioeconomic correlates with group behaviors. We also do not explicitly model the alternative explanations for the current trends. We do not mean to suggest that these factors are not playing a (large) role in the US COVID-19 pandemic, but aim to highlight a largely un-discussed, and potentially very important, additional influence of homophily among groups. We have here demonstrated the impact of homophily in only two behaviorally distinct groups, though of course the reality is likely the composite contribution of many distinct groups that may vary in both behavior and/or physiological susceptibility (37). Sociocultural factors may also play a critical role in the rates at which different groups interact, since even beyond the percentage of households with economic or “essential workforce” constraints against protective behaviors, crowded neighborhoods and multigenerational homes also complicate the ability to minimize exposure risks (38). While heterogeneous mixing among such distinct etiological and behavioral cohorts is certainly not the only factor influencing currently observed trends, it would be a mistake to ignore the pot...

      This may be indicative of generalised aggravation of dementia symptoms due to lockdown and impossibility of resorting to non-pharmacological management strategies due to the limitations imposed by anti-covid measures. It is important as both of these drugs have side effects including increased falls and for antipsychotics higher mortality. Limitations: Heterogeneity of tools and most importantly the choice of data reporting are the main limitation to synthesise and interpret the data from the studies identified in this review. For instance, whether a total percentage of the patient experiencing change in their symptoms was given, or whether the percentage was broken down by symptoms (with no overall figures) or whether the method used to measure the variables did not allow to extract percentages and mead and standard deviation were used instead. In addition, some measurement instruments used, such as the HADS, are not appropriate to be used in dementia. It is also fair to notice the difficulties in conducting these studies during the pandemic, in particular in care homes, that banned the entrance to external personnel and families and went through many strains to continue care throughout the pandemic.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      As with any modelling study, there are several limitations to our approach. First, while phase III trial efficacy results have been announced for several vaccine candidates, durability data are not yet available, and data on the extent to which the current vaccine products can prevent infection are still emerging2,3,28; our model assumptions may therefore need to be updated as trials and effectiveness studies progress. Second, the number of doses and the timing of their availability are also uncertain; for this reason, we have illustrated simplified scenarios in which vaccination occurs over a one-month period for a range of epidemic stages. In practice, each country will have experienced a different epidemic when the first vaccine is introduced and will scale up coverage over a period of months. Third, the model used here is relatively simple in structure and can only simulate the impact of a single vaccine product, with one value for average vaccine efficacy, meaning we could not include complexities such as multiple vaccine products, nor the potential partial efficacy following the first dose in a multi-dose vaccine schedule. These considerations will be important for future studies. Fourth, our study focuses only on the health benefits of vaccination. It will also be important to consider other therapeutic interventions, as well as the capacity of countries to suppress transmission using NPIs, and to better capture specific risk groups as appropriate to individual countri...

First, we did not explicitly model which PDRs are relaxed as vaccination progresses; instead, we assumed a generic relaxation of measures that impacts all ages proportionally. The age-specific effect of relaxing existing PDRs is extremely hard to quantify, and their prioritization is a peculiarly political decision, depending on the governments’ strategic interests. Second, we assume mitigation measures to maintain an approximately constant incidence; although this dynamic is clearly idealized, we consider this an acceptable approximation of the fluctuating incidence observed in most countries. We anticipate that possible resurgences due to imperfect mitigation will contribute to speed up the population immunity and therefore the relaxation of PDRs, however at the cost of more lives lost. Third, we did not explicitly model the effect of other possible features of emerging variants, such as reductions in vaccine effectiveness [19-20] or the ability to escape natural immunity [13, 21-22], or a combination of them. We estimate that a 15% lower efficacy of vaccines under the transmissibility of historical lineages would imply an increase in deaths of up to 50%, without affecting the time to a complete relaxation of PDRs. The possibility of escape from natural immunity is not expected to be a major driver of our conclusions, considering the limited share of population immunity due to natural...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations: This study has several limitations. Our patients, a multi-ethnic group, drawn from a single center in New York City, may not represent the general COVID-19 population. Autopsy studies over-represent severe cases, and our findings may not be generalizable to less severe cases. There are currently limited data on the sensitivity and specificity of SARS-CoV-2 qRT-PCR in various tissues including brain, and positive qRT-PCR in the brain may be due to virions in the blood rather than brain tissue. Additionally, clinical data for this study were obtained through retrospective chart review and thus fully reliant on EMR. Most patients had significant pre-existing comorbidities, which confound our ability to attribute our findings to COVID-19 infection. Future studies with appropriate controls are needed to delineate which neuropathological findings result from COVID-19 infection and treatment and are not caused by other processes.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study should be considered in light of some limitations. Our sample, though relatively large, was a convenience sample. Moreover, degree of shelter-in-place guidelines and the number of COVID-19 cases in participants area of residence likely differed, creating differences in flexibility with stepping outside the house. Additionally, due to the nature of data collected, our results may be subject to self-reporting bias and/or recall bias. The time frame of data collection may have influenced our results as well. As such, at the time of data collection in early May (April 24th - May 4th), although most states had implemented shelter-in-place guidelines, a few states were considering lifting the restriction after May 1st. Additionally, this study was cross-sectional, so although associations can be assessed as a result of the pandemic, we cannot establish cause and effect. Finally, we did not use a validated tool for eating behavior measures, or a validated tool for assessing behavior changes, so care should be taken to integrate these findings with the broader literature. In conclusion, the current findings strongly support the need to implement and support measures that promote strategies to maintain body weight by limiting energy-dense but nutrient poor foods, maintaining healthy eating patterns, performing short bouts of PA, scheduling structured exercises that can be done at home, using tracking applications, and using well-established strategies such as daily self-wei...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The current study has several limitations especially as related to a retroactive evaluation of de-identified electronic health records. We were unable to explore in-depth individual medical cases or to access to all aspects of clinical care. Data regarding vital sign measures were limited to the initial clinical encounter and not available for the course of hospitalization for inpatients. Although the cohort studied represents a heterogenous population, whether the results generalize to other large metropolitan communities needs to be addressed as more data becomes available across the US and other countries. Another limitation is that SES cannot be accurately determined only by zip code, and caution should be undertaken in interpreting the geographic data. In summary, the current findings confirm the critical nature of comorbid factors, as well as the increasing number of comorbidities (hypertension, chronic kidney disease, COPD, and diabetes) to mortality risk and also suggest that geographical location, which potentially relates to SES within a large metropolitan area, may increase mortality. Although females, African Americans, and Hispanics often have a greater number of comorbidities, these groups were not associated with increased mortality risk in the COVID-19 population after covarying for other factors. Continued analysis of larger populations locally and globally is essential as the pandemic evolves. Moreover, it will be important to monitor the long-term health im...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Another limitation is the assumption that each individual has long-lasting immunity, so that apparent seroreversions are due to test errors rather than waning immunity. Depending on the infection in question, the validity of this assumption may depend on factors such as age and immunocompetence. In conclusion, the methods presented here can make more realistic estimates of force of infection, and can help inform the choice of serological tests for future serosurveys.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      However, our study is not without limitations. Our findings could be affected by age-differential changes in case ascertainment, over time or across regions. However, we restricted the analysis to hospitalized cases rather than all confirmed COVID-19 cases in the community because changes in healthcare seeking behavior (e.g., for ambulatory visits), and changes in testing in the outpatient setting might affect the relation between the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the rates of detected COVID-19 cases. However, such temporal changes are less likely for hospitalized cases, with uniform guidelines for testing hospitalized cases applied in Mexico, and low likelihood of mild cases resulting in hospitalization during certain time periods. Second, the perception of the potential severity of the disease may have changed over time and clinicians, even with an existing case definition, may have preferentially tested certain age groups. We explored whether testing for hospitalized patients in all age groups changed over time and did not find evidence for this (Supplemental Figure). Third, we used date of symptom onset to temporally classify cases from an administrative database. Thus the possibility of error in registration is present. However, this error is probably random and unlikely to affect results. Alternatively, there might be differences across age groups in their recall of the date of onset, yet this seems unlikely. Fourth, it is important to notice that the database f...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      A limitation of our expression model is that each cell is treated as an independent observation. Thus, the significance of association with traits such as sex, age, and smoking status may show inflated p-values, especially where the associations are determined from few donors. In this case, the variation between cells from a single donor dominates the variation between donors, background variation is underestimated and effect significance can be overestimated. Aggregating many datasets allows us to counteract this effect, yet p-value inflation may occur in cell types that are not as commonly shared across datasets. Our main conclusions are drawn on airway epithelial and AT2 cells, which are distributed widely across datasets and are modeled on the basis of many donors. Furthermore, we have confirmed significant associations by pseudo-bulk analysis and by holding out datasets. This confirmation ensures that associations are consistent when only considering donor variation, and we are aware if these associations are dataset dependent (often when one dataset is a particularly major source of a given cell type). Models that account for both single-cell count distributions, and population structure in the data have the potential to improve future meta-analyses across single-cell atlases. Having a cell type annotation with consistent resolution across datasets was instrumental for analyzing the association with clinical covariates up to the resolution of basal, secretory, or multic...

      Results from OddPub: Thank you for sharing your code and data.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      One limitation of our work lies within its attempt to generalize models trained on human RNA transcript localization data, to transcripts derived from a different species. A model learned on HEK293T cells also may not be an appropriate model for cell types that are infected by SARS-CoV-2. Although the sharing of biological machinery between human cells and SARS-CoV-2 coupled with RNA-GPS’s strong performance on held-out test datasets leads us to believe that this approach is promising, viral infection also substantially remodels the cell’s internal machinery, and the expression of viral RNA binding proteins (not accounted for in our model) can both introduce errors into our predictions. Thus, localization experiments are necessary to validate our computational analyses. Cross-referencing our results against existing literature is somewhat limited, as most studies have focused on the localization of viral proteins rather than viral transcripts. Furthermore, RNA localization is undoubtedly one of many pieces of complex, interconnected mechanisms that this coronavirus adopts, and our hypotheses presented here do not preclude (many) additional critical biological phenomena. In summary, we build upon recent computational models of RNA subcellular localization to study, in silico, the localization properties of SARS-CoV-2. Our results suggest that nuclear-mitochondrial transcript localization patterns may be an important, unique characteristic of SARS-CoV-2 that warrants additional...

      However, this review has several limitations. The authors have seen that this review dominantly used RT-LAMP diagnostic value data on each study by extracting the cumulative data on all studies. Therefore, there was no extraction on subgroup analysis which has been used in some studies. In our search strategy, the authors used several databases to find peer-reviewed articles which are relevant to RT-LAMP diagnostic value on COVID-19. Systematic review and meta-analysis using preprints and ongoing clinical trials could be performed to gather more data for the systematic review, while keeping in mind to properly assess study quality. Subgroup analysis, particularly on types of RT-LAMP used in trials could also be used

      Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
