Scientists of reddit- what are the most under-reported scientific findings in your opinion?
gpt
The negative study. 

Its been shown that there is a huge publication bias towards studies with positive findings or findings that confirm a hypothesis, despite the fact that negative studies are equally important and valid, they just make for less exciting publications. ( e.g if you drug looks like it works , it gets published. Showing a drug doesnt work gets less airtime. )

You end up with a biased publication database which neglects to provide the negative results of trials and investigations to counter balance all the positives.
