This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier policy on Article Correction, Retraction and Removal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies-and-standards/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Post-publication, an investigation conducted on behalf of the journal by Elsevier's Research Integrity & Publishing Ethics team discovered that acceptance of this article was solely based upon the positive advice of reviewers who were closely linked to one of the authors Arash Karimipour. This compromised the editorial process and breached the journal's policies. The Ethics team have determined that the authors were requested by one of the reviewers to insert redundant references to their papers during the peer-review process. Post-publication, the Ethics team also discovered suspicious email addresses used by the authors during submission that were not associated with legitimate researcher accounts. Overall, the editor has determined that the authorship and the findings of the article cannot be relied upon, and has decided to retract the article. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
