Following the publication of the original article [1], the authors brought to our attention that the > (greater than) sign was inadvertently used instead of the < (less than) sign for the p value in the Abstract, Methods and Figure 4 legend.

The correct p value is less than 0.001 (<0.001) and not more than 0.001 (>0.001) as initially reported, something that has now been corrected in the original article [1].
