The article "Can the endometrioma be an obstacle to complete oocyte retrieval in IVF cycles? A retrospective study" by G.M. Baldini, A.S. Laganà, A. Mastrorocco, A. Malvasi, D. Baldini, D. Ferri, R. Sciorio, G. Trojano, published in Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2024; 28 (7): 2827-2836-DOI: 10.26355/eurrev_202404_35911-PMID: 38639522, has been retracted by the Publisher and the Editor in Chief. Following concerns raised on the study data and ethics issues, the journal initiated an editorial investigation in accordance with journal policies and COPE guidelines. The authors were contacted and provided a reply to the issues raised, but were unable to provide the original data due to a technical failure that resulted in the loss of access to the underlying files, nor the original ethics committee approval document. The journal has therefore reassessed the manuscript based on the information provided. The external evaluation identified significant concerns regarding the study's reporting, transparency, and verifiability. Consequently, the concerns raised during the post-publication evaluation could not be satisfactorily resolved, and the reliability of the reported findings and conclusions could not be verified. In light of these issues, the Editor-in-Chief has concluded that the article is retracted. The authors have been informed of this decision and do not agree with the retraction. This article has been retracted. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
