> what the hell did the 24% of the studies do wrong? Why aren't the people who made them expunged from the community for doing questionable research? I think 'expunging people from the community' is a pretty risky path to go down. Perhaps they're looking for a small effect and doing a single study with high enough power is tricky? The real world is a messy place, there's loads of (perfectly innocent, as well as nefarious) ways those 24% of studies could have come to a different conclusion.
