Discussion Our meta-analysis yielded borderline significant RRs of 1.3 and 1.4 between glyphosate use and risk of NHL and MM, respectively, and no significant association with risk of HL or leukemia.
Meta-relative risks (meta-RRs) were positive and marginally statistically significant for the association between any versus no use of glyphosate and risk of NHL (meta-RR = 1.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.0–1.6, based on six studies) and MM (meta-RR = 1.4, 95% CI = 1.0–1.9; four studies).
The case-control study found mixed evidence of a positive trend (statistical significance not reported), while a positive trend was detected in one analysis of the cohort data [12] but not the other.
