Table 3 Subgroup Analysis using ‘Type’

	n	Hedge’s g	95% confidence interval	Τ²	I²
Tent	17	− 0.4805	[− 0.9065, − 0.0544]	0.5766	88.9%
Light	17	− 2.4770	[− 5.7332, 0.7792]	38.8561	98.8%
Other—Passive	14	− 0.0650	[− 0.6150, 0.4851]	0.8245	96.4%
Other—Mechanical	9	− 0.2083	[− 1.2493, 0.8327]	1.7961	98.3%

Subgroup analysis shows that tent traps capture significantly more Anopheles mosquitoes than other trap types. Only one electrocuting trap study was included in this, so it was removed for analysis
