Here's some takeaways from the article:

1) It's not yet peer reviewed.
2) Since published studies represent a small subset of studies presented for publishing, it is impossible to know how many studies demonstrating no effects were done and were not published. Due to the nature of variance and the definitions of significance, one would expect 1 in 20 studies to demonstrate something when in fact nothing is going on.
3) The dosages in this study were weight related, which was not part of the protocol in previous studies touting hydroxychloroquine. As such, if the HCL does indeed have effects, the weight related dosing would appear to be critical. Because of this, following the protocols of previous studies touting HCL would not have been nearly as helpful as the results of this study.
4) Obviously, this is one study with a small sample. Put it in context. We're talking about 255 patients. One should expect any number of studies to have results like these, given the vast numbers of studies involved.


I'm frankly surprised that there haven't been dozens of studies with a couple hundred patients that report all kinds of relationships between treatments and results.
