This one isn't from the meta-analysis, but from Argentina:

My point, though, was using health statistics from countries that lack the basic means to manage this information probably isn't the best point of reference.
Thanks. I had not seen this. I note the dosing schedule used in the second study seems very low (and was called out as a limitation by the studies authors) - much lower than I have observed on the studies which purport to show the drugs effectiveness.

thanks for the intelligent response - much appreciated. I agree that health statistics from countries that lack the basic means to manage this information is a bad idea.
