Abstract

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding irregularities in the data and p-values presented in the Tables. The authors have stated that they made errors reporting the p-values in Tables 1 and 2 and provided the full raw data for validation. However, due to the number of errors in the data and p-value reporting, the Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data. Mehdi Harorani, Mohamad Golitaleb, Ali Jadidi and Masoud Rezaei do not agree to this retraction. Masoomeh Noruzi Zamenjani and Fahimeh Davodabady have not responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction. The Publisher has not been able to obtain a current email address for Sima Zahedi.
