A lot of the medicine paper fraud is in Psychology papers. They are notorious for badly setup studies with intentionally leading questionaires for data. No amount of peer review seems to improve them and a journal somewhere will always publish it.
The volume is quite staggering as well, ~40 Psychologists are responsible for an insane amount of papers all with the same methodology problems showing it can cure everything. Apparently every disease has Psychology problems. In practice no one is getting better from their proposed and trailed treatments and patients repeatedly complain about it, but they are everywhere in Europe and the vast majority of doctors believe in these specialist even though the papers are universally review as very low quality even when they aren't faking data or manipulating the stats to produce an outcome.
