Not "most". Half of the published research in Ioannidis's ground-breaking analysis couldn't be replicated. Which means half could be (edit: numbers which roughly match a more recent analysis: https://elifesciences.org/articles/71601).

Which is why single studies should never be taken seriously - which is nothing new and frankly common sense. Thankfully there are recent reviews and meta-analysis readily available on most subjects, so that shouldn't even be a temptation.

Thank God for science, am-I-right?
