Today's paper that I'm checking is not ivermectin, another treatment for COVID-19, and thus far every single percentage I've looked at in every table is impossible Cited 18 times so far

It looks like the authors have mislabeled table 1, but the other tables I can't even explain. These percentages, for example, aren't possible for any values between 40-45 as far as I can tellpic.twitter.com/qbsP3iUHM0

The whole thing is just...very odd. The p-values are also bizarre - I get a chi-squared p-value of 0.0005, not 0.036, for the last line

Worth noting that lots of papers have one or two impossible values - often there is a person missing from one line in a table, that throws off the percentages. It's not ideal, but it's a very simple mistake It becomes worrying when this mistake is repeated a lot

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Fluvoxomine study if you have a chance.

Study was males only - the drug is used to treat prostate cancer and one side effect of Dutasteride is impotence. Good luck with that.

Excellent! So it's possible impotence from drug side effects or impotence from covid! I'd call that a major experimental design flaw.
