I have no idea how they made it past peer review and were published.

The authors aren't the only ones getting paid off.

I suspect, at some point, it will slip and become a major scandal that reviewers at major scientific journals have been accepting "gifts" from interested parties to help ensure that specific articles get approved and published.
