The webpage on the medical journal The Lancet of a now-retracted study on anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as treatment for COVID-19 is seen on a mobile phone in Manila, Philippines on Wednesday, 23 September 2020. Leading medical journal The Lancet announced changes to its editorial policy after retracting a study by Surgisphere on the adverse effects of hydroxychloroquine as treatment for COVID-19 after its authors found lapses on the data gathered by the US healthcare analytics company.
