It's rare to repeat other researchers studies...costs time and money.
Even without cheating, a researcher can take an optimistic view of his findings...over interpret them...and draw wrong conclusions. The PR dept of the journal puts out a press release and The press jumps on new stuff and presents it uncritically.
Even honest studies are often not easily reproduced. IIRC a big German pharma tried to replicate a few key studies published by others and failed.
