Survival curves for the LOVIT trial.
deaths
The original survival curves were published with a scale up to 180 days, but such a wide scale makes it difficult to see the divergence of the vitamin C and placebo group curves after the termination of the 4-day vitamin C administration. See the We tested the uniformity of the vitamin C effect by allowing separate effects of vitamin C for the early and late periods of the 11-day follow-up (Table During the first 4 days, there were 49 deaths in the vitamin C group, and 51 deaths in the placebo group, with RR = 0.97 (95% CI 0.65–1.44). Thus, there is no evidence of harm from vitamin C During the week after the termination of vitamin C, there were 57 deaths in the vitamin C group, but only 32 deaths in the placebo group, with RR = 1.9 (95% CI 1.2–2.9; Over days 5–7, there were 33 deaths in the vitamin C group, and 15 deaths in the placebo group, with RR = 2.28 (95% CI 1.24–4.2;
