The original version of this article [1] unfortunately contained a mistake in Figure 2. Figure panel 2c and 2d should read as follows:

  1. 1.

    Figure 2c: Spearman r = 0.38 with no −(negative) sign.

  2. 2.

    Figure 2d: Spearman r = 0.42 with no −(negative) sign and p < 0.001 and not p = 0.001.

An updated version of Fig. 2 has been provided below.
