In fact, it seems the journal does not really seem to have taken the correction seriously. What leads me to that conclusion? Because
an editorial published alongside the trial, which was commissioned by The BMJ and , features the same omissions that have now been corrected in the paper itself. The editorial touts the reported findings but only mentions in the last paragraph that the study participants had been hospitalized, with this sentence:
“Trial inclusion criteria required a history of hospital admission for covid-19, and it is unknown if findings can be generalised to patients with milder infection who do not require admission.”
As with the paper itself, this salient limitation should have been mentioned in the most prominent parts of the editorial–and especially in the first reference to the study sample. As it is, the detail is presented as something of an afterthought.
