Error in reported methodology of referenced study

In this article, authors reference a study by Swarthout et al (second to last sentence of Discussion). It is incorrectly reported that artemether-lumefantrine was used as treatment for this drug efficacy study in The DRC. The two treatment arms were, in fact, AS+SP and AS+AQ.

Thank you
