Retracted: PASS-Predicted HepatoprotectiveActivity ofCaesalpinia sappanin Thioacetamide-InducedLiver Fibrosis in Rats

The Scientific World Journal has retracted the article titled“PASS-Predicted Hepatoprotective Activity ofCaesalpiniasappanin Thioacetamide-Induced Liver Fibrosis in Rats” [1].Figures3(c) and3(f) were reused from Figures1(c) and1(d)in an article by the same authors, Kadir et al. [2].An institutional investigation by the University of Malayafoundtherewasnosystemtoindexandfiledataandimagesto avoid mislabeling and mishandling, which led to errors andduplication of research data. The authors did not thoroughlycheck the manuscript before submission.The authors said that both images (1(c) and1(d)) inFigure1in[1]arecorrectandthesameasillustratedinthe thesis by Kadir [3]. Panel (c) in both figures representedthe same reference group (silymarin group-SY) because theyran two experiments in rats treated with different plants,but with the same reference group. This is also illustrated inKadir’s thesis [3]. Therefore, panel (c) is correct in both Figure3(c) in [1] and Figure1(c)in[2].However,Figure3(f) wasmistakenly uploaded in this article, which probably happeneddue to incorrect labelling during data collection. This is alsoillustrated in the thesis [3].The authors offered to provide replacement figures, butthe Editorial Board recommended retraction.
