Meta analysis of 18 ivermectin RCTs with 2,282 patients showing faster viral clearance (dose and duration dependent), improved clinical recovery, and lower hospitalization and mortality. In six RCTs of moderate or severe infection, there was a 75% reduction in mortality, RR 0.25 [0.12-0.52], p = 0.0002.

A sponsor reportedly required the conclusion of this paper to be changed against the wishes of the authors (to suggest that more trials should be done as opposed to the existing evidence being sufficient) [1, 2, 3].

risk of death, 75.0% lower, RR 0.25, p < 0.001.

Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. For an individual study the most serious outcome may have a smaller number of events and lower statistical signficance, however this provides the strongest evidence for the most serious outcomes when combining the results of many trials.
