It seems there is a stupefying amount of bad science getting published without subsequent retraction.
Luckily for me I am too stupid to understand the maths in the full article (which is in the print edition only - and last week's one at that), the numbers sound kind of worrying.

The hallowed process of peer review is not all it is cracked up to be, either. When a prominent medical journal ran research past other experts in the field, it found that most of the reviewers failed to spot mistakes it had deliberately inserted into papers, even after being told they were being tested.
