Published articles may be retracted when their findings are no longer considered reliable due to honest error, publication misconduct, or research misconduct. This article focuses on the case of a single serial violator of research and publication ethics in anesthesiology and critical care, which is widely publicized. A chain of events led to detection of misconduct that had substantial impact on the evidence base for the safety of hydroxyethyl starch, an intravenous artificial colloid solution, which is reflected in current guidelines on fluid management and volume resuscitation. As citations to retracted works continue to be a cause for concern, this article reviews the retraction status of this author's published articles to determine whether sufficient action has been taken to retract his body of work. Results show that retraction practices are not uniform and that guidelines for retraction are still not being fully implemented, resulting in retractions of insufficient quantity and quality. As retractions continue to emerge for the author's publications, with ten more since 2011, and as they are generally increasing, these data on retractions not only provide findings of misconduct, but also allow us to make inferences about ongoing weaknesses in the system of scientific literature.
已发表的文章，如果其发现结果由于诚实错误、出版不当行为或研究不当行为而不再被认为可靠，可能会被撤回。本文重点介绍了麻醉学和危重病学领域一位屡犯研究和出版道德规范的单一案例，该案例被广泛报道。一系列事件导致了对不当行为的检测，这对羟乙基淀粉（一种静脉内人工胶体溶液）安全性的证据基础产生了重大影响，这反映在当前关于液体管理和容量复苏的指南中。由于对被撤回作品的引用仍然令人担忧，本文审查了该作者已发表文章的撤回情况，以确定是否已采取充分措施撤回其全部作品。结果表明，撤回做法并不统一，撤回指南仍未得到全面执行，导致撤回的数量和质量不足。随着该作者的出版物继续出现撤回，自 2011 年以来又有十篇撤回，而且还在不断增加，这些关于撤回的数据不仅提供了不当行为的发现，还使我们能够对科学文献系统中持续存在的弱点做出推断。
