质疑信息

图4与无关论文存在多处重复面板。

Fig. 4

The color-coded these moose portraits to highlight the similarities to Fig 2E of Zhang et al (2017).

Light brown and light purple boxes also facilitate comparison with Fig 2G of Gao et al (2017), "Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry".

图2与多篇无关论文图像面板重复。

Fig. 2

The color-coded these strawberries to indicate their manifestations in previous and subsequent papers by otherwise-unrelated authors. See Fig 5D of Zhang et al (2017) for the red, blue, green, light orange panels, although the two red-boxed panels here have seen some selective disappearance of points.

Pink-boxed panel (and also red again) appear in Fig 2C of Li et al (2016), and in a number of other papers linked in that thread.

The two panels in the brown box at right are both versions of a panel in Fig 2G of Li et al (2018), and Fig 3A from Long et al (2017).

图3C存在多处重复面板。
