The above article, published online on 02 January 2024, in Wiley Online Library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor in Chief, Professor Keith Harding; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Following an investigation by the publisher, all parties have concluded that this article was accepted solely on the basis of a compromised peer review process. In addition, the investigation found significant textual overlap in the methods sections between this article and other articles by different authors (Mao et al. 2023 [https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.14203]; Wang et al. 2023 [https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.14229]; and Zhang et al. 2023 [https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.14179]). The editors have therefore decided to retract the article. The authors did not respond to our notice regarding the retraction.
