The public can not learn to read scientific papers, no matter how much they would want to. You have to be on par with the person who wrote the study, in their field, to really be able to judge it. The chain should be, take for example nutrition, something like: study - skeptic science community - trials - health administration - policy - personal doctors - public, with constant feedback between the links. You still have leaky abstractions at every level but the positions are (or should be) equipped to handle it. Study -> news -> public, or study -> public is an impossible chain. That's how you get all the fad diets, covid home-made remedies and so on.
