	Fillinger 2009 KEN	Controlled before‐and‐after trial	0.45 (0.28 to 0.73)	0.39 (0.27 to 0.56)	0.06 (0.04 to 0.09)	0.014 (0.006 to 0.028)	73.1 (20.3 to 90.9)	Mean number of blood fed female anophelines per person per sampling date

¹ Where pre‐ and post‐intervention data were reported, percent reduction was calculated by difference in differences method (see Methods). Where post‐intervention data only were reported, percent reduction was calculated as: 1 ‐ (mean density in treatment group/mean density in control group).
