This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief and Author.

We regret that we have to retract this article because errors and inconsistencies have been identified in the publication. These primarily involve the extraction of the original trial data used in the analysis. They make it difficult to interpret the results and have confidence in the conclusions. While it would be our preference to publish a corrigendum, the authors do not have the ability to perform another analysis of the data set at this time and thus, for the integrity of both the Journal and the authors, we have chosen retraction. We regret any problems that this may have caused.
