Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Were the mosquitoes in LLIN and LLIN + PBO groups comparable | Low risk | Huts situated in the same area – mosquito characteristics will be the same |
Collectors blinded | Unclear risk | Unclear if collectors blinded – not stated in publication |
Sleepers blinded | Unclear risk | Unclear if sleeper blinded – not stated in publication |
Sleeper bias | Low risk | Sleepers were rotated between huts using a Latin square design |
Treatment allocation (was the treatment allocation sequence randomly/adequately generated | Low risk | Treatments were not randomly allocated to the huts. However, results from trials performed before this trial showed no significant difference in attractiveness of the different huts |
Treatment rotation | Low risk | Treatments were rotated between huts using a Latin square design |
Standardized hut design | Low risk | Huts were built in a standard West‐African design |
Hut cleaning between treatments | Low risk | All huts were cleaned between treatments |
Were incomplete outcome data adequately addressed | Low risk | There were no incomplete data |
Were the raw data reported for LLIN and LLIN + PBO groups | Low risk | All necessary data were reported |
Trial authors' conflicting interest | Low risk | The trial authors declared there were no conflicting interests. |
