Figures

FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 1.
Meta-analysis of ivermectin prophylaxis trials in COVID-19. Symbols: Squares indicate treatment effect of an individual study. Large diamond reflects summary of study design immediately above. Size of each symbol correlates with the size of the CI around the point estimate of treatment effect with larger sizes indicating a more precise CI. CI, confidence interval; OBS, observational study; RCT, randomized controlled trial.
FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 2.
Meta-analysis of the outcome of time to clinical recovery from controlled trials of ivermectin treatment in COVID-19. Symbols: Squares indicate treatment effect of an individual study. Large diamond reflects summary of study design immediately above. Small diamond indicates sum effect of all trial designs. Size of each symbol correlates with the size of the CI around the point estimate of treatment effect with larger sizes indicating a more precise CI. CI, confidence interval.
FIGURE 3.
FIGURE 3.
Meta-analysis of the outcome of mortality from controlled trials of ivermectin treatment in COVID-19. Symbols: Squares indicate treatment effect of an individual study. Large diamond reflects summary of study design immediately above. Small diamond indicates sum effect of all trial designs. Size of each symbol correlates with the size of the CI around the point estimate of treatment effect with larger sizes indicating a more precise CI. CI, confidence interval; OBS, observational study; RCT, randomized controlled trial.
