Doctors are required to disclosed any conflicts including financial conflicts when publishing studies. But journals have varying criteria for disclosures and there is no enforcement for lack of disclosures. You can find articles published around the same time period, where the same doctors where have no disclosures while others have more extensive disclosures. Journal editorial board does not screen out articles for publication with extensive conflicts.
