Abstract

Maged, AM, Ogila, AI, Mohsen, RA, et al. Endometrial scratch injury in infertile women seeking conception through natural or intrauterine insemination cycles: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Gynecol Obstet. 2021; 00: 1-20. doi:10.1002/ijgo.14030 The above article, published online on 17 November 2021 on Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal's Editor-in-Chief, Professor Michael Geary, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The journal was made aware of concerns regarding the considerable overlap with a previously published systematic review.[1] The authors responded to the concerns raised and it was found that some of the source clinical trial data could not have been accessed in this systematic review. As a result, the journal is issuing this retraction. [1] Bui BN, Lensen SF, Gibreel A, Martins WP, Torrance H, Broekmans FJ.
