Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor in Chief. Upon receipt of a complaint from a reader, an investigation revealed that the content and substance of this paper (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cscm.2023.e02312) was plagiarised from an earlier paper having entirely different authorship: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jobe.2023.106811. Nine of the 13 Figures in this paper were duplicated from the earlier study, in some cases with different or no attributions. The corresponding author agrees to the retraction. The timing of submission of this paper and publication of the earlier paper was such that the duplication was not detected. The journal apologises for any inconvenience. © 2024 The Authors
