This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. The editorial board has found that it was exceedingly unlikely that randomisation had been conducted properly for all the trials Dr. Shokeir has co-authored and documented a number of examples of data copying between tables in different studies. When these examples are taken together, in the view of the Editor-in-Chief it is likely that this trial authored by Dr Shokeir is based on fabricated data. The journal has not received the original dataset or a satisfactory response from Dr Shokeir with an explanation regarding the stated concerns after several months, so the article must be retracted.
