    "The results are compelling. They identify a clinically significant benefit in pooled estimates for most
    of their selected outcomes. For example, they estimate a mean reduction in time to viral clearance
    of 3 days (95%CI 1-5), a reduction in time to clinical recovery of 1.5 days (95%CI 0.4-2.8), a reduction
    in duration of hospitalization of 4.3 days (95%CI 0.0-8.6) and 56% reduced risk of mortality (95%CI 23-75%). Notably, their estimates remain largely similar after excluding studies at high risk of bias.

    And, although the included studies do not overlap, their results are largely consistent with many 17–19
    (but not all 20) other meta-analytic evaluations of ivermectin conduct by other groups. Even the most
    ardent skeptic should be given pause by this data.
