Another day, another two ivermectin studies that have impossible values in their tables of results. Both included in meta-analyses (rated as high risk of bias this time) This is getting truly insane

My question is why Ivermectin? It seems a bizarre drug to build sand castles on.

A bit like hydroxychloroquine - somebody powerful no doubt has a vested interest in it...

Because the meta-analysis authors were motivated? I would expect a general pattern of (slight) bias in favor of any given drug, because those people are more motivated to write such an analysis. Unless they have a competing product.

I’m honestly not sure I would have noticed. Risk of bias and GRADE tools don’t really prompt you to asses the plausibility of Table 1 values. I don’t have experience/tarnishing in IDing fraud. Do we need a new tool?

Maybe, but frankly most of these papers are so low quality that I can't understand how anyone included them in reviews in the first place anyway
