In addition to catastrophic loss of life, and dramatic and unwanted alterations to the daily lives of those left behind, the COVID-19 pandemic has fostered the publication and dissemination of an unprecedented quantity of peer-reviewed medical and scientific publications on a single subject. In particular, the ophthalmic literature is now replete with clinical and laboratory studies on putative eye involvement by SARS-CoV-2, the aetiologic agent of COVID-19. In this review, we critically appraise the published literature on COVID-19, and suggest that the quality of scientific peer review and editorial decision-making also suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic.
除了灾难性的生命损失，以及给留下的人带来戏剧性和不必要的日常生活改变外，COVID-19 大流行还促成了在单一主题上发表和传播前所未有的大量同行评议的医学和科学文献。特别是，眼科文献现在充满了关于 COVID-19 的病原体 SARS-CoV-2 可能引起眼部受累的临床和实验室研究。在这篇综述中，我们批判性地评估了 COVID-19 的已发表文献，并认为在 COVID-19 大流行期间，科学同行评审和编辑决策的质量也受到了影响。
