Retraction: Long non‐coding RNA Sox2 overlapping transcript (SOX2OT) promotes multiple myeloma progression via microRNA‐143‐3p/c‐MET axis

TL;DR
This retracted paper originally claimed that a specific RNA promotes multiple myeloma progression through a microRNA/c-MET pathway.
Contribution
The paper was retracted due to an incorrect statistical method affecting results and conclusions.
Findings
The statistical analysis used to compare multiple groups was found to be incorrect.
The errors impact the validity of the results and conclusions about SOX2OT's role in multiple myeloma.
The authors apologize for the oversight and request the paper's retraction.
