Wow a study of one person?!? Sounds like a top tier scientific result. \s
Don't dismiss it based on that criteria. It's a particular type of study called a case study where they go more in-depth on a particular case or set of cases. Of course it should be complemented by other types of studies, but that's just true of science in general. The danger, of course, is when laymen and journalists get excited over something like a case study and start spreading bad advice.
China leads the world in academic fraud.
A common scam is to attribute medical miracles to stem cells - Similar to the cloning scandal from Korea - Because they know other countries legally CAN'T test the findings to either prove or discredit. They do this to fleece foreign institutions out of money and prestige.
That cloning scandal was crazy! If anyone wants a decent doc series with fancy editing:
