RETRACTION: M. He, L. Feng, L. Qi, M. Rao, and Y. Zhu. “Long Noncoding RNASBF2‐AS1 Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression via Regulating miR‐545/EMS1 Axis,” BioMed Research International 2020, no. 1 (2020): https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/6590303.
The above article, published online on 13 June 2020 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed after the authors initially requested retraction due to invalid results. An investigation into image duplication concerns raised by Hoya camphorifolia on PubPeer [1] has also been completed:
-
-
Figure 2c shares unexpected similarities with Figure 3A in [2].
-
-
Figure 2d shares unexpected similarities with Figure 2e in [3].
Separate attempts by the journal to contact the authors regarding these image concerns have not resulted in a reply. As a result, the data and conclusions of this article are considered unreliable.
