While youse guys ah tawking about the Brits, hows about the good
ole U.S.A.? Take a look at the following from the Sept 14, 2015
issue of JAMA:
http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleID=2442406&utm_source=Silverchair%20Information%20Systems&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=JAMA%3AOnlineFirst09%2F14%2F2015
The reference to the above is:
Ahimastos AA, Askew C, Leicht A, et al.
Notice of Retraction: Ahimastos AA, et al. Effect of Ramipril on
Walking Times and Quality of Life Among Patients with Peripheral
Artery Disease and Intermittent Claudication: A Randomized
Controlled Trial. JAMA. 2013;309(5):453-460.. JAMA.
Published online September 14, 2015. doi:10.1001/jama.2015.10811.
The article/letter is free, you just have to get through the first Ad
page.
You can read it online or get a PDF.
The key statement may be:
|A recent internal subanalysis of these data revealed anomalies,
|which triggered an investigation and an admission of fabricated
|results by Anna A. Ahimastos, PhD, who is both the first and
|corresponding author and was responsible for data collection
|and integrity for the article.
Everything else was fine except for the data fabrication mentioned
above (skeptics might request support for those statements)
Oh, just in case anyone was wondering, the person in question
was a Ph.D., not an M.D.

P.S. At least Ahimastos got two publications out of this: the
original article and the retraction! ;-)

Is your question about the quality of articles in Lancet or about the
conclusions from this particular article? And there is a difference.

Gimme a break.
