senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen has been looking into this for us. e should be extraordinarily concerned about? >> reporter: the mistakes were serious because they took the step of retracting them which is relatively unusual. "wall street journal" says 339 times last year, medical journals said something was true, a drug worked for high blood pressure or a treatment worked for, let's say, cancer and then they said, oh, no, maybe that's not so true. this is unusual 339 sounds like a big number but when you think about all of the studies that are published, it's a relative small number but it makes you think when you see something is published in a medical journal, even a prestigious one, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's true. >> how do these mistakes get made? usually, these reports are supposed to live up to some standards and pass through things. how does it happen? >> reporter: you know what i found disturbing, ali? half of them were because of some kind of misconduct. in other words, no one likes to use the "l" words but perhaps some lying goi
