I have to say. The international public database (ethics are also clearly stated). Submitted on 24th November 2024, reviewed by 4 reviewers, revised on 23rd January 2025, resubmitted on 30th January 2025, and rejected on 27th February 2025. The reason for rejection was that "concerns about access to American databases, data analysis, presentation of results, manuscript content, and ethical issues were considered unsuitable for publication as original research articles. Please note that all research conducted by academic or clinical institutions authors must be reviewed and approved by their institution before the start of the study." This was the opinion of the last reviewer, funny thing is that he mentioned some reference format issues during the revision. I think if it is rejected at first sight due to ethical reasons, please reject it instead of allowing a revision, wasting time.

It took more than two months to revise it, and the comments were all about some formatting issues. After making the changes and submitting it again, it was directly rejected, accompanied by a bunch of suggestions. It's simply a waste of time.
