The article reports that sex and gender are missing in COVID-19 data in the U.S., pointing out that most clinical trials do not report results by sex, as of July 2021. Topics include the paper published in "Nature Communications" which noted that only eight out of 45 COVID-19 randomized controlled trials reported the impact of sex or gender, the lack of attention to sex effects as indicated in several studies and the why suggesting a sex difference where one might not exist can be harmful.
