Use of Ivermectin and Chlorine Dioxide for COVID-19 Treatment and Prophylaxis in Peru: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, created a rapidly unfolding health crisis, especially in the initial phases of the pandemic. In the early stages of the pandemic, various strategies were proposed for COVID-19 prophylaxis and treatment with very little scientific evidence available. Among these proposed treatments were ivermectin and chlorine dioxide, which were both used widely in Peru for both disease prevention and treatment without considering their problematic side effects. For instance, ivermectin was part of an approved therapeutic scheme based on in vitro data, although its efficacy in humans was not demonstrated. In addition, chlorine dioxide was never shown to be effective but causes threatening side effects. In this article, we discuss current information regarding chlorine dioxide and ivermectin in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on experiences in Peru.
