The results and the conclusion taken from those results should have been exposed during peer-review. Peer reviews are meant to anaylse the veracity of the source data. Once a paper has passed peer-review, it is widely acknowledged to be reliable, with no further investigation necessary.
Uh...What's your point though? That science is fallible? That peer reviews don't always eliminate all error? Well... DUH. Point me to someone who'd be insane enough to deny that.
