Retraction: Oxycodone modulates VEGFA to inhibit cervical cancer cell migration and angiogenesis
Abstract
Post-publication, an investigation initiated by editorial team identified that a large proportion of the references cited in the article [1] have low relevance or no direct connection to the study’s methods, results, or discussion. This extensive use of irrelevant citations undermines the academic rigor and reliability of the published work. The article is therefore retracted. The authors did not respond with the retraction. The journal apologizes to its readers for any inconvenience caused.
