Moore 2016.

Methods Experimental hut trial
Participants An arabiensis (100%), An funestus group (95% s.s.)
Interventions Control: LLIN, MAGNet LN
Intervention: LLIN, Veeralin LN
Outcomes Mosquito mortality, blood feeding, deterrence, exophily
Mosquito resistance status An arabiensis ‐ susceptible (alphacypermethrin, 100% mortality, N = 97)
An funestus ‐ unclassified
Net treatment Nets holed, nets unwashed and washed (x 20)
Location(s) Ifakara, Tanzania
Notes Although additional data provided showed resistance to deltamethrin and permethrin in An gambaie s.l.
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Were the mosquitoes in LLIN and LLIN + PBO groups comparable Low risk The hut trial was conducted in the same area, therefore characteristics are similar
Collectors blinded Unclear risk Paper does not state if collectors were blinded.
Sleepers blinded Unclear risk Paper does not state if sleepers were blinded.
Sleeper bias Low risk Sleepers were rotated between hut following a Latin square design.
Treatment allocation (was the treatment allocation sequence randomly/adequately generated Low risk Treatments were not randomly allocated to huts however the trial completed a full rotation through the huts.
Treatment rotation Low risk Treatments were rotated between hut following a Latin square design.
Standardized hut design Low risk The study used the standard design of the Ifakara experimental huts.
Hut cleaning between treatments Unclear risk The paper does not state if huts were cleared between treatments.
Were incomplete outcome data adequately addressed Low risk No incomplete outcome data
Were the raw data reported for LLIN and LLIN + PBO groups Low risk No missing outcome data
Trial authors' conflicting interest Low risk The trial authors declared they received prescribed standard fees from Vestergaard Frandsen for evaluating their pesticide products, however this is standard practice.
