Retraction

Retraction: Investigating the relationship between erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and mortality in hemodialysis patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis

  • The PLOS One Editors

The PLOS One Editors retract this article [1] due to concerns about potential manipulation of the publication process. These concerns call into question the validity and provenance of the reported results and compliance with PLOS policies. We regret that the issues were not identified prior to the article’s publication.

ZK and AMH did not agree with the retraction. HRS either did not respond directly or could not be reached.
