Doesn't matter. If read the tea-leaves, listen to rumour or carefully select the 100 papers most likely. The fact you can select 100 papers, do the work to reproduce them and fail in over the half the cases is damning. It shows there exists a systemic problem. Published, peer reviewed, cited work that can't be replicated is a problem. If it were a random sample of papers it is also a systemic problem. Take your pick, it's a systemic problem that needs to be addressed either way.
