risk of death, 80.0% lower, RR 0.20, p = 0.50, treatment 0 of 134 (0.0%), control 2 of 134 (1.5%), NNT 67, relative risk is not 0 because of continuity correction due to zero events (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm).

risk of mechanical ventilation, 97.1% lower, RR 0.03, p < 0.001, treatment 0 of 134 (0.0%), control 17 of 134 (12.7%), NNT 7.9, relative risk is not 0 because of continuity correction due to zero events (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm).

risk of hospitalization, 91.0% lower, RR 0.09, p < 0.001, treatment 3 of 134 (2.2%), control 35 of 134 (26.1%), NNT 4.2.
