Nature retracted a peer-reviewed paper last November after pressure from those with a particular political/ideological bent. You can read the details here and decide for yourself if their reasoning is valid for the retraction. Did not seem very valid to me personally, especially given they did not retract the authors' prior work using similar methods (but with a conclusion the aforementioned political actors would find most pleasing, rather than upsetting): https://retractionwatch.com/2020/12/21/nature-communications-retracts-much-criticized-paper-on-mentorship/ https://retractionwatch.com/2020/12/21/nature-communications...
