Interventions | Control: LLIN, Olyset Net Intervention: LLIN, Olyset Plus |
|
Outcomes | Mosquito mortality, blood feeding, deterrence, exophily | |
Mosquito resistance status | Proxy data. Resistant ‐ high (permethrin, 22% mortality, N = 100) (Djègbè 2011) | |
Net treatment | Nets holed, nets unwashed and washed (x 20) | |
Location(s) | Malanville, Benin | |
Notes | Trial conducted: September 2011‐December 2011 | |
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 randomized to huts, but instead were rotated fully between all of the huts using a Latin square design. |
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 | Funders of the trial stated that they had no part in data collection, data analysis or manuscript preparation |
