Kaplan-Meier plot of time to the negativity of individuals who were gametocyte positive before either AL or DP treatment. The proportion of gametocyte positive children are shown on the Y-axis and time to complete gametocyte clearance in individuals who were gametocyte positive at enrolment on the X-axis. Time to disappearance was estimated for patients who were positive for gametocyte before treatment only. Artemether–lumefantrine (dashed line n = 43) or dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine (solid line n = 39) in weeks on the X-axis. p = 0.5731. Difference between arms was tested using the log-rank test
