Small prospective PSM study in the USA, showing 75% lower mortality with ivermectin treatment, without reaching statistical significance, significantly shorter ventilation and ICU time, and longer hospitalization time.
Authors leave the statistically significant improvements in ventilation and ICU time out of the abtract and conclusions, and incorrectly state that there were no differences in other outcomes (there were no statistically significant differences) [nature.com]. Authors are ambiguous on the primary outcome, referring to the primary mortality outcome in one case, and "clinical outcomes, measured by the rate of intubation, length of hospital stay, and mechanical ventilation duration" in another case.
The longer hospitalization time may be partially due to the greater mortality in the control group.
This is the 68th of 97 COVID-19 controlled studies for ivermectin, which collectively show efficacy with p<0.0000000001 (1 in 2 sextillion). 46 studies are RCTs, which show efficacy with p=0.00000014.

Background: Ivermectin has been found to inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in vitro. It is unknown whether this inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication correlates with improved clinical outcomes. Objective: To assess the effectiveness and safety of ivermectin in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Methods and Materials: A total of 286 patients with COVID-19 were included in the study. Univariate analysis of the primary mortality outcome and comparisons between treatment groups were determined. Logistic regression and propensity score matching (PSM) was used to adjust for confounders. Results: Patients in the ivermectin group received 2 doses of ivermectin at 200 μg/kg in addition to usual clinical care on hospital days 1 and 3. The ivermectin group had a
