Evaluation of Durability as a Function of Fabric Strength and Residual Bio-Efficacy for the Olyset Plus and Interceptor G2 LLINs after 3 Years of Field Use in Tanzania.
Article in Tropical medicine and infectious disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are prone to reduction in insecticide content and physical strength due to repeated washes and usage. The significant loss to these features jeopardizes their protection against bites from malaria vectors. Insecticide washout is attributed to routine use, friction, and washing, while fabric damage is associated with routine use in households. To maintain coverage and cost-effectiveness, nets should maintain optimal bio-efficacy and physical strength for at least 3 years after distribution. In this study, the bio-efficacy and fabric strength of Olyset plus (OP) LLINs and Interceptor G2 (IG2), that were used for 3 years, were assessed in comparison to untreated and new unwashed counterparts. Both IG2 and OP LLINs (unused, laboratory-washed, and 36 months used) were able to induce significant mortality and blood feeding inhibition (BFI) to mosquitoes compared to the untreated nets. Significantly higher mortality was induced by unused IG2 LLIN and OP LLIN compared to their 36-month-old counterparts against both pyrethroid resistant and susceptible
