Typically Nature or high impact journals are specifically more likely to publish irreproducible studies.

It's very similar to the well established fact that students with good grades are the most likely to cheat.

If you want to look for solid research, don't look to Nature, look to the so called "mid tier" journals. Also, similar observations are true for research groups. Research from ivy-league universities follows similar principles as above.
