“…Four used matching in the construction of the study populations, but reported unmatched analyses with no explanation [4,9,10,51]. Three reported low and differential participation rates for the exposed and unexposed cohorts [1,8,43], and one reported analyses of rubber industry employees who experienced very low levels of exposure to CS 2 in addition to a number of additional, potentially cardiotoxic exposures that were unlikely to be adequately controlled for in the analysis [38].
