“The re-analysis was funded by an unrestricted grant from Roche but was done by an independent research group, thus seeking to overcome the suggested bias associated with industry-funded studies” Kelly et al editorial.
Dobson et al. Acknowledgments
This study was funded by the Multiparty Group for Advice on Science (MUGAS) Foundation through an unrestricted grant from Roche Pharmaceuticals.

Interpretation
Our findings show that oseltamivir in adults with influenza accelerates time to clinical symptom alleviation, reduces risk of lower respiratory tract complications, and admittance to hospital, but increases the occurrence of nausea and vomiting.
