Until yesterday, the New England Journal of Medicine had retracted only 24 papers. Now that tally is 25.
As our Ivan Oransky reports at Medscape:
The original paper found that “ambulatory blood-pressure measurements were a stronger predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than clinic blood-pressure measurements,” the authors wrote. It made a bit of a splash, and has been cited 190 times, according to Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science, earning it a “hot paper” and “highly cited paper” designation.
Head over to Medscape to learn why the paper was retracted.
