2025 retractions
In 2025, a team of Iraqi researchers published a paper in the journal describing an asymptomatic case of Ectopia cordis interna. A private inquiry later indicated that the report had been based on a 2015 hoax.[6] The journal eventually retracted the article,[7] and 5 others articles by the same authors.[8][9]
