I've seen a couple direct replications in biomed, NIH even specifically funded some a few years back under the “Facilities of Research-Spinal Cord Injury” project. AFAIK, pretty much nothing replicated: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3246348/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3246348/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18234196 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18234196 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2643041/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2643041/ http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/21195070 http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/21195070 But yes it is extremely rare. It is very frustrating because it is hard to come up with a precise model when you only half-trust the data to begin with, and when the replications are (rarely) run it appears that half-trusting the reported results is optimistic...
