I'm confused as to what you think your job is. Surely this kind of basic quality checking falls under the purview of a science writer?
I am processing and posting incredible amounts of research on a daily basis. I do critically consult the methods department. But I can't puzzle over every statistic, the job of high impact peer review journals. But I applaud critical comments, that is post peer review.
Perhaps in some distant future every academic paper will have assigned an official Advocatus Diaboli to publicly make the case against it's canonization. (Sort of like BBS is with open peer commentary.) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/behavioral-and-brain-sciences … .. #AdvocatusDiaboli
There should be people paid to do post-publication peer review, like what @sTeamTraen and @jamesheathers are doing now except as a full-time job.
I get that, but there's really no alternative if you want to contribute to informed public debate. Publicizing these low-grade studies serves the opposite goal.
Writing as a fan: I think you could devise a set of simple scanning rules that would account for @pnin1957's critique here, and doing so would both increase your accuracy and prestige, since the rules would produce content to write about re how studies went wrong.
