The PLOS One Editors retract this article [1] because it was identified as one of a series of submissions for which we have concerns about potential manipulation of the publication process and peer review integrity. These concerns call into question the validity and provenance of the reported results. We regret that the issues were not identified prior to the article’s publication.
FUK, AB, and MWJK did not agree with the retraction. NB and JZ either did not respond directly or could not be reached.
