Table 7 Subgroup analysis using ‘Type’ for Anopheles funestus

	n	Hedge’s g	95% confidence interval	Τ²	I²
Tent	4	− 0.3539	[− 2.0478, 1.3399]	1.0098	89.5%
Light	4	2.8827	[− 1.6527, 7.4181]	7.9393	97.6%
Other	3	− 1.1428	[− 5.9189, 3.6333]	3.6761	99.4%

Subgroup analysis using the ‘Type’ moderator on the subset of Anopheles funestus s.l. shows that no trap type had significant results when compared to HLC. The ‘Other’ group was collapsed into a single group to increase statistical power for analysis, however, the number of synthesized studies for each group was below the traditional threshold of n ≥ 5 limit. More synthesized studies are required for definitive analysis
