“…Quantitative evaluation of studies without industry sponsorship or conflicts of interests was not possible, as only a single study met criteria for metaanalysis when those with possible financial conflicts of interest or industry support were excluded. 19 While the findings of this study are consistent with the above quantitative analysis, future research without industry support is needed to further evaluate this potential bias.…”
