Table 3 Statistics to test heterogeneity in the meta-analysis

Comparison	Heterogeneity				Model used for meta-analysis*
	*Tau* ²	Q-value	P_{heterogeneity}	I²(%)
With artesunate vs. without artesunate	1.18	79.7 (df = 5)	<0.01	94	Random
Artemether-lumefantrine vs. other antimalarials	0.05	2.77 (df = 2)	0.25	28	Random
Primaquine vs. other antimalarial	1.95	5.15 (df = 3)	0.16	42	Random

*For the reasons mentioned in the method (statistical analysis section), random effects model was chosen for all comparison.
