Peer review, like the the bullshit that said chocolate is good for you? Best review the journal first so you are not taken by the personal bias of being told what you want to hear.

Ah interesting points. 1. "Peer-reviewed" doesn't necessarily mean the conclusions are correct; scientists are human and therefore biased and imperfect like everyone else. But, peer-reviewed articles are at least vetted by other scientists before they are published. 2. You're right to mention the quality of the journal - there are some predatory "journals" that are more interested in making money than advancing science - but just because it's published in a reputable journal, doesn't therefore mean that the conclusions are correct (see 1. above)
