Competing Interests
The authors have the following interests: Jose Manuel Otero is employed by Merck, the funder of this study. During his PhD study in Nielsen lab, he was financed by a PhD scholarship by Merck. The research work of his PhD is of no commercial interest to Merck. There are no patents, products in development or marketed products to declare. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials, as detailed online in the guide for authors.
