Study selection and characteristics:
The PRISMA flow chart provides an overview of the study selection process and search strategy (Figure1). During the search, 332 appropriate studies were discovered. After screening, 7 studies were ultimately picked for the analysis. The studies that were included were all RCTS. 2369 adults made up the entire study population in this meta-analysis, with 968 people in the control group and 1401 people in the molnupiravir group. The baseline parameters and other information for the included studies are displayed in Table 1.
