This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/article-withdrawal). The authors of the paper have confirmed that the trial reported in the above paper was not registered in advance of participant recruitment, in breach of the journals submission policies. Additionally, a post-publication investigation conducted by the editor and Elsevier's Research Integrity & Publishing Ethics team could not confirm whether or not appropriate ethical approval was given for the research presented in this publication in line with the journal's policy as the supporting document provided was found to be missing validity dates, conditions of approval, and without reference to the ethics application or study protocol. Other concerns regarding the study conduct include participant consent and randomization method, which remain unclear. As the registration status breaches the journal submission policies, and it cannot be established whether the article complies with the journal's policies on ethical approval, the editor has decided to retract the article.
