> [Elisabeth] Bik later told The [Stanford] Daily in an interview, relying on her experience of investigating more than 20,000 papers for research misconduct and causing nearly 1,000 retractions and roughly the same number of corrections to make that claim.

Let's assume Bik chooses papers to investigate because, to a significant degree, her expert judgment is that they are most likely to have fraud, and Bik may know that topic better than anyone in the world.
Of the 20K most likely candidates, 5% were retracted and 5% corrected, and 90% apparently needed neither (though possibly they were inconclusive or she couldn't convince publications or authors to retract).
