RETRACTION of “Correlation analysis between an IL-6 genetic polymorphism and non-small cell lung cancer prognosis”, by Zhao K, Xu J, Tian H published in Genetics and Molecular Research 15 (1): 15017021 (2016) DOI: 10.4238/gmr.15017021

K. Zhao, Xu, J., and Tian, H., RETRACTION of “Correlation analysis between an IL-6 genetic polymorphism and non-small cell lung cancer prognosis”, by Zhao K, Xu J, Tian H published in Genetics and Molecular Research 15 (1): 15017021 (2016) DOI: 10.4238/gmr.15017021, vol. 15, no. 4, p. -, 2016.

Zhao Kai, first author wishes to retract the following article:

According to the author, the reasons for the retraction are as follows:

- All patients enrolled in the study received surgical resection and lymph node dissection. So the patients’ information was incorrect. Then, the corresponding information and data need to be collected again and reanalyzed.

- The P value for Figure 1 was calculated by the log-rank test. Since the data need to be reanalyzed, the 95% confidence intervals for the average survival times also need to be recalculated.

Dear Editor, We read the article “Association between the interleukin-6-174 G/C polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis” by Jin et al. (2015) with great interest. The authors searched the literature for data sources to analyze the relationship between interlerukin-6-174G/C and ischemic stroke. Their meticulousness in study selection and data extraction is highly commendable. Of all the studies included in this meta-analysis, we were particularly interested in the extraction of data reported by Banerjee et al. (2008). For this study, Jin et al.
