      Shortly after publication, we and the authors learned that one of the studies on which this analysis was based has been withdrawn due to fraudulent data. A revised version excluding this study is underway, and the currently posted paper will be retracted. https://academic.oup.com/ofid/article/8/8/ofab394/6346765 …pic.twitter.com/f87uiR2dAL

      There are more studies going to fall so you may want to wait for the plates to stop spinning @GidMK

          Or, almost none of these studies seemed reliable or plausible while claiming to provide fantastical results using a drug with almost 0 biological plausibility. They were just the junk they seemed to be and not worth the time of a meta analysis and embarrassing withdrawal.
