“…Meta-analysis with these flaws are common, and compromise the conclusions. On the other hand, the observational articles that support the decisions of the two specialists also have important limitations, such as the lack of sample calculation and, some of them, lack of representativeness in the composition of the sample 3 , 4 . Without the discussion on sample power, confidence interval and effect size, doubts remain about the ability of these studies to have the results extrapolated to other populations.…”

defend different points of view on the duration of isolation for a 24-year-old patient, without comorbidities and with COVID-19. However, she required hospitalization in the Intensive Care Unit, having evolved without complications, but as she lives with her parents, she was considered to be a high risk for disease spreading. Therefore, it is essential to determine the appropriate period of isolation 1 . The reader are stimulated to choose between recommending extended isolation for 20 days or reassure the patient on the low risk of transmission. To support the discussion, there are a total of eight scientific articles published between 2020 and 2021 (a meta-analysis and seven observational studies). However, when analyzing them individually, the question arises: is there enough evidence in each of these articles to justify any of the reader's choice?The meta-analysis goal is to characterize the dynamics of viral load, the release duration of viral RNA and the release of viable SARS-CoV-2 viruses in various body fluids, in addition to comparing the viral dynamics of SAR-S-CoV-2, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV2. Among the conclusions, the authors find that the release of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in respiratory and stool samples can be prolonged, but the duration of viral viability is reduced. Furthermore, it is said that the SARS-CoV-2 titers in the upper respiratory tract reach their peak in the first week of the disease 2 .

“…It is extremely important to emphasize that some health professionals do not have adequate knowledge about the scientific method, impairing the critical analysis of published information 3 , 15 , 16 . In addition, most studies may have false results, considering aspects such as statistical power, bias and level of significance.…”
