Never let it be said that I'm always negative - today's ivermectin trial was really excellent. It was so refreshing to read an RCT where I could not find a single error in the data

This study also is not definitive, and frankly proves nothing. The numbers are too small - it's just one of many! Don't take it as proof!

The fact that this is the first RCT I've managed to find on ivermectin that doesn't have obvious numeric errors doesn't mean it's perfect, it just tells you how awful the literature is as a whole

From my layman’s perspective this study tells me that ivermectin is better than taking nothing at all. So why stop people from taking it?
-
This is one study, not the whole literature, and also doesn't really show a benefit (the placebo group got better more quickly, for example)

Could you take a look at this d.blind, randomized study as well?https://medrxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2021.05.31.21258081v1 …

Bad signs right off the bat - you cannot have 21.6% or 16.8% of 89. 19/88 is .216, and 15/89 is .169, so these are probably minor issues, but it's still not idealpic.twitter.com/2Hn82wnR6P

I noticed one of the commenters on the paper suggested that Fisher's Exact Test needed to be used for the mortality data which results in a p value of 0.119 and is thus not significant. Wondering if you concur.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The difference between studygroup/ placebo comes down to 4 deaths. Actually 3, since 1 in the placebo had inconclusive PCR-and all non-conclusive were included(?) (see Fig.1).

Differences exist between the two groups in the medications administered. In such small numbers these need to be taken into account (see Table.3)
