The paper uses a 95% CI.

"Our trial suggests that metformin may reduce the likelihood of needing to go to the emergency room or be hospitalized for COVID-19." Doesn't contradict that. It looks as if it might hit at 90% CI, which I reckon the comment is fair to say, if you don't gloss over the qualifiers "suggests" and "may reduce".
