Meta analysis of 43 studies: "HCQ was found consistently effective against COVID-19 when used early, in the outpatient setting. It was found overall effective also including inpatient studies. No unbiased study found worse outcomes with HCQ use. No mortality or serious safety adverse event was found.
Currently there are 36 HCQ early treatment studies and meta analysis shows:
OutcomeImprovement
Mortality72% lower [57‑81%]

Abstract: MINI-REVIEW Hydroxychloroquine is effective, and consistently so when provided early, for COVID-19: a systematic review C. Prodromos1 and T. Rumschlag2 1) Illinois Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center and 2) Foundation for Orthopaedics and Regenerative Medicine, Glenview, IL, USA Abstract Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has shown efficacy against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in some but not all studies. We hypothesized that a systematic review would show HCQ to be effective against COVID-19, more effective when provided earlier, not associated with worsening disease and safe. We searched PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Google Scholar and Google for all reports on HCQ as a treatment for COVID-19 patients. This included preprints and preliminary reports on larger COVID-19 studies. We examined the studies for efficacy, time of administration and safety. HCQ was found to be consistently effective against COVID-19 when provided early in the outpatient setting. It was also found to be overall effective in inpatient studies. No unbiased study found worse outcomes with HCQ use. No mortality or serious safety adverse events were found. HCQ is consistently effective against COVID-19 when provided early in the outpatient setting, it is overall effective against COVID-19, it has not produced worsening of disease and it is safe. © 2020 The Authors.

We also hypothesized that some studies that failed to show efficacy would be biased against positive efficacy and that no unbiased studies would show worsening. Finally, we hypothesized that HCQ would be found to be safe.
