Anecdotally, researchers generally won't do exhaustive (emphasis added) literature reviews from less reputable sources for negative results before attempting reproduction. At the very least, you'd need better organizational structures to make finding negative results easier -- something other than citations alone. Maybe this could be a section on each Nature paper with links to positive & negative reproduction notes?
