Distributions of days alive without life support (DAWOLS) at day 28 in each treatment group (control group, 6 mg, in red and intervention group, 12 mg, in blue) in the COVID STEROID 2 trial [15]. The distribution of DAWOLS calculated in three different ways are presented: the absolute values (without penalizing death); after assigning the value 0 to non-survivors; and after assigning the value of -1 to non-survivors. Horizontal axes: number of days; vertical axes: number of patients. Abbreviations: IQR: interquartile range, min./between/max.: percentages of patients with the minimum value, values larger than the minimum value and smaller than the maximum value, and the maximum value
