The researchers shot themselves in the foot. They requested a statement from the NIH about the study and the NIH suggested that the latest data be included in the study since some time had passed since the study was first submitted for review. This suggestion happened one week before the publication date and the new data was submitted 24 hours before the publication date, so the publishers decided to pull the study since the new data hadn't been reviewed. There is no indication that the study won't pass the new review process and be published. L.
