If someone links you a "study" its about as useful as them linking a random news article. In both cases, they only read the headline and maybe the summary under it which are designed to support the author's already decided outcome.
Even worse, journalists can editorialize things and make the truth a lot harder to parse from the story. Studies can do little of that, leaving the facts right on the table for anyone with the ability to read to find all the faulty setups and intentional leading that undermines the clickbait.
So if someone links you a study to support their point, you can probably safely assume they couldn't even defend that singular study let alone the point resting on it.
To be fair, a lot of studies are paywalled.
Realistically, nobody should have to pay for access to quote something for a point.
You can just message the people in involved in the study and they will send it to you for free FYI.
