Just to elaborate on the "it doesn't work that way" part.
Science is hard. Replicating an experiment is costly in time and money.
The papers in scientific field are organized like a tree. A good paper by a good and credible researcher will be a base node that other papers branch off of. A poor or not credible paper will be leaf that won't be cited by others. Testing all the poor papers would be tremendous waste of time. And it wouldn't catch fraudsters as such because not being replicable isn't proof of fraud.
