You are right of course, every scientific paper, even peer reviewed, even published in the "best" journals, can be total BS.

I thought about just analyzing the conclusions. And to pick out whether they write "one might draw the conclusion" or "we have proven that...." I think that could be useful, although I am aware that in reality they might still have proven nothing.

In my area, I always ask who is the author team. There are a few and many are well known.

If it's team A, I'm almost sure it's correct. But I check anyway.

If it's team B then "Press X To Doubt". It's probably not wrong, but perhaps oversold.
