Scientists- in what % of papers you read does the main body of the paper fail to support the assertions made in the title or abstract?

Depends what you mean: few that I’ve read in neuro straight up make misrepresentations. A lot will claim more generalizability than they show specifically, but it’s pretty hard to prove translatability to humans, given we can’t extract/manipulate their brains like we do mice

I don't just mean misrepresentations or outright lies -- these are not very often. I'm asking about the failure to support claims in general, so e.g. if you read the paper and are not convinced that e.g. causal identification is robust, that counts

Many times coauthors and reviewers ask for things to added when it clearly makes no sense
as lead author you may not have much choice
