Yes I read the study. It involved in vivo use of ivermectin in human subjects. The study authors acknowledged that further research is needed. What's the problem?

I will save everybody the time to read it! See result below:

Days to negative in the three trial arms: Ivermictine: avg= 6.0 95% CI= (4.61–7.38) Control: avg= 9.15 95% CI= (5.68–12.62)

there was only 20 patient in the control group this would give a margin of error of 21.91% for that 95% confidence interval.

Most statisticians agree that the minimum sample size to get any kind of meaningful result in this case would be ~385
