The article refers to a move several years ago by one biotech company, Amgen, to attempt to validate the results of some well-known studies.

Where can we find the list of these studies?

The irony is thick:

1) They were unable to reproduce the experiments from the papers alone, and this is considered normal.

2) The "scientists" required them to sign an NDA before helping them to reproduce their published results.

3) We're left here drawing conclusions from anecdotal evidence from a study that cannot be reproduced.

Luckily, science is self-correcting so we need not be overly concerned.
