The article "MiR-5692a promotes the invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma via MMP9" by S.-J. Sun, N. Wang, Z.-W. Sun, J. Chen, H.-W. Cui, published Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2018; 22 (15): 4869-4878-DOI: 10.26355/eurrev_201808_15623-PMID: 30070322 has been retracted by the Editor in Chief. Due to concerns raised by online readers regarding a set of articles published by different publishers sharing similarities in Kaplan-Meier survival plots, correlation plots, and overlapping images from wound-healing and transwell assays, the Editor-in-Chief has initiated an investigation to evaluate the validity of the results and potential figure manipulation. The journal's investigation revealed duplications between panels A of Figure 4 and panel B of Figure 5. Also, splicing was detected in panel A of Figure 4. The authors have been informed about the journal's investigation but remained unresponsive and have not provided the study's raw data. Consequently, the Editor in Chief mistrusts the results presented and has decided to retract the article. This article has been retracted. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. https://www.europeanreview.org/article/15623.
