      The question is specific: do you publicly acknowledge each study you analyze, and share the results of all your investigations?

      I answered yes. Have a look up the thread. We are putting everything together into a single document because corralling tweets at this point is hard to read

      So you're saying that you've only looked into the fraudulent studies plus these 4 you mentioned here? Or that there is a list of everything you've looked into somewhere in a document?

      The second. As I said, we're going to make that public soon, although we usually do tweet about stuff as it happens. So far assessed about 30 ivermectin studies

      Mind just throwing out here the names of the ones that, by your analysis, have no issues, or are honest if imperfect?

      The studies I would personally consider as having low/no risk of fraud (although potentially other issues) at this point would be Mahmud, Mohan, Vallejos, Babalola, Ravirkirti, Lopez-Medina, and Biber. Not everyone agrees, but that's my assessment so far

      Together is very low risk for fraud overall, but have not yet assessed as it is not published. I personally think that the Okumus study is unlikely to be fraudulent simply because no one would fake a study that bad

      IIUC, you're saying that several studies with strongly positive results look reasonably solid by the analysis you and your collaborator(s?) did. Other than the Vallejos study, the others in your first tweet are all strongly positive, some of them showing results in the 90% range.

      Not really. Most of them had null results for their primary endpoint, although some did find some positive stuff on subgroup analyses. It varies

      Can you please be specific? Which ones had null results and which didn't?

      Mohan, Vallejos, Lopez-Medina had null results for their primary outcomes (as did Together). Biber reported positive results, but this may be due to protocol violations. Babalola and Ravikirti have issues, but were positive. Mahmud is positive and a solid study.
