Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-17636-8, published online 02 August 2022
Editors have retracted this Article.
After publication, concerns were raised about authorship and description of author contributions. The Editors requested the authors to provide raw original data and explanations regarding the contributions, but found the response provided by the Authors insufficient. The Authors were also not able to provide the data in the format that would allow for the confirmation of its veracity (i.e. including sufficiently detailed meta-data). The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the reliability of the data presented in this Article.
None of the Authors responded to the correspondence from the Editors about the retraction.
