Une précédente revue a montré que, parmi 59 études publiées entre 1995 et 2005, les études financées par l'industrie étaient moins susceptibles de mettre en évidence des effets liés à la santé de l'exposition contrôlée aux émissions radiofréquences de type téléphone mobile. Nous avons mis à jour notre base à partir de la littérature publiée entre 2005 et 2009 et extrait les informations concernant le financement, les conflits d'intérêts et les résultats. Parmi 75 nouvelles études, 12% ont un financement de l'industrie, 44% un financement public et 19% un financement mixte public-privé. Les résultats précédents ont été confirmés : les études financées par l'industrie sont moins susceptibles de suggérer des effets sur la santé. Autre fait intéressant, la proportion d'études indiquant des effets a diminué entre 1995 et 2009, quelque soit le mode de financement. La source de financement et les conflits d'intérêt sont importants à prendre en compte dans ce domaine de recherche.

A previous review showed that among 59 studies published in 1995–2005, industry-funded studies were least likely to report effects of controlled exposure to mobile phone radiation on health-related outcomes. We updated literature searches in 2005–2009 and extracted data on funding, conflicts of interest and results. Of 75 additional studies 12% were industry-funded, 44% had public and 19% mixed funding; funding was unclear in 25%. Previous findings were confirmed: industry-sponsored studies were least likely to report results suggesting effects. Interestingly, the proportion of studies indicating effects declined in 1995–2009, regardless of funding source. Source of funding and conflicts of interest are important in this field of research.
