Values to the left of the vertical line representing the null value indicate a reduction in the odds of malaria infection in users of insecticide-treated nets compared to non-users. Data are taken from 15 Demographic and Health Surveys and 14 Malaria Indicator Surveys conducted between 2008 and 2015. ORs are adjusted for age, gender, indoor residual spraying in the past 12 mo (where measured), household wealth, house type, and geographic cluster. Summary effects are from random effects analysis. Sub-groups show diagnostic test. Error bars show 95% confidence intervals. DRC, Democratic Republic of the Congo; OR, odds ratio; RDT, rapid diagnostic test.
