Why would you think that the question immediately implies an insinuation? It is a perfectly normal question to ask based on data. Article gives info. First comment (now no longer the top comment) asks question on info, response from person who read the article - did you read the article? It is logical to me, I don't think there was any insinuation here, just asking for verification. Simple as that :)

A better question in the first place would be - I read the article but am unable to figure out which are the drugs actually used as I do not have much background in Bio/Pharma science

This may be culture-dependent, but I guess most people would feel it that way.

In my experience, the question is stronger than an insinuation, coming across as an accusation.

This is an issue with text conversation exchange. We do not have information on the tone of voice. And it is unfair to imagine a tone based on what we read
