Can the performance of pyrethroid-chlorfenapyr nets be reduced when combined with pyrethroid-piperonyl butoxide (PBO) nets?
Article in Malaria journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundPyrethroid-chlorfenapyr (CFP) and pyrethroid-piperonyl butoxide (PBO) nets are being scaled across endemic countries to improve control of malaria transmitted by pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes. CFP is a pro-insecticide requiring activation by mosquito cytochrome P450 monooxygenase enzymes (P450s) while PBO improves pyrethroid potency by inhibiting the action of these enzymes in pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes. The inhibitory action of PBO against P450s may thus reduce the efficacy of pyrethroid-CFP nets when applied inside the same household as pyrethroid-PBO nets.
methodsTwo experimental hut trials were performed to evaluate the entomological impact of two different types of pyrethroid-CFP ITN (Interceptor
resultsThe vector population was susceptible to CFP but exhibited a high intensity of pyrethroid resistance that was overcame by PBO pre-exposure. Vector mortality was significantly lower in huts with combinations of pyrethroid-CFP nets plus pyrethroid-PBO nets compared to huts with two pyrethroid-CFP nets (74% vs. 85% for Interceptor
conclusionsThis study shows evidence of a reduced performance of pyrethroid-CFP nets when combined with pyrethroid-PBO ITNs compared to when applied alone and higher efficacy with net combinations that included pyrethroid-CFP nets. These findings suggest that in similar contexts, prioritizing distribution of pyrethroid-CFP nets over other net types would maximize vector control impact.
