risk of death, 63.4% lower, RR 0.37, p = 1.00, treatment 0 of 75 (0.0%), control 1 of 102 (1.0%), continuity correction due to zero event (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm).
risk of mechanical ventilation, 89.7% lower, RR 0.10, p = 0.07, treatment 0 of 75 (0.0%), control 5 of 102 (4.9%), continuity correction due to zero event (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm).
risk of hospitalization, 85.7% lower, RR 0.14, p < 0.001, treatment 2 of 75 (2.7%), control 19 of 102 (18.6%).
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.
