Spatial repellents and malaria transmission in an endemic area of Cambodia with high mosquito net usage.
Article in MalariaWorld journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe spread of artemisinin resistant malaria from SE Asia to the rest of the world remains a threat that will only be ended by eliminating malaria from the region. Novel control approaches are required to mitigate this threat. Spatial repellents (SR) are one such approach. We therefore conducted a multiple cross-over experiment from April 2013 - April 2014, in which all houses in one of two villages in Mondolkiri Province, Cambodia were alternately supplied with an emanator of the spatial repellent metofluthrin per 30 m MATERIAL AND
methodsMosquito densities were simultaneously monitored in each village for two weeks every month using six CDC light-traps/night run from 18.00 to 07.00 hrs inside bedrooms and malaria prevalence, seroconversion and gSG6 protein rates assessed from prevalence surveys. After emanators were installed in the first village they were installed in the second village for a further three-month period and following that were again used in the initial village for a further three months. Surveys were undertaken before the initial installation of the emanators and at each cross-over point.
results
conclusionAt the malaria transmission levels present in Mondolkiri the metofluthrin emanators evaluated had no observable effect on malaria prevalence. This may be due to confounding by low prevalence rates.
