Version: 3 Date: 01 Jul 2022
Reviewer's report:
"PEER REVIEWER ASSESSMENTS:
OBJECTIVE - Full research articles: is there a clear objective that addresses a testable research
question(s) (brief or other article types: is there a clear objective)?
Yes - there is a clear objective
DESIGN - Is the current approach (including controls and analysis protocols) appropriate for
the objective?
Yes - the approach is appropriate
EXECUTION - Are the experiments and analyses performed with technical rigor to allow
confidence in the results?
No - there are minor issues
STATISTICS - Is the use of statistics in the manuscript appropriate?
Yes - appropriate statistical analyses have been used in the study
INTERPRETATION - Is the current interpretation/discussion of the results reasonable and not
overstated?
Yes - the author's interpretation is reasonable
OVERALL MANUSCRIPT POTENTIAL - Is the current version of this work technically
sound? If not, can revisions be made to make the work technically sound?
Probably - with minor revisions
PEER REVIEWER COMMENTS:
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The overall impact of study is reasonably good. Authors have conducted exploratory evaluation
between relationship of two glands in preview of involvement in autoimmune disorders.
The research question and knowledge gap are lucid and methodology section is well described.
Images are well presented.
Major issue: 1. lack of data : age, height, weight, nutritional status. These attributes are covariates
for morphometric evaluation of organ. Most of the time we can find spurious correlation.
Minor issues: 1. Language is not up to the mark. editing is required.
2. Discussion could be shortened.
REQUESTED REVISIONS:
The study was already completed and authors have mentioned that they are unable to capture
the data of subject characteristics. The execution issue can only be corrected if authors could
collect data of subject characteristics: age, height and weight and re-analysed the relationship.
ADDITIONAL REQUESTS/SUGGESTIONS:
At least language editing required."
