The data from the article by Alverson et al. [1] was included in the analysis of one the secondary outcomes, in our meta-analysis published recently [2]. This was later identified as a work of fiction and the analysis was revised. However, this revision did not bring about a significant change in the results and the overall validity of the meta-analysis.
