I figured NPR had done due diligence, but maybe that's an incorrect assumption. Wiki says PLOS ONE is a pay-to-publish site:

I criticize others for citing things from websites that have this practice, so I think I will delete this with an explanation. The study might be ok, but I'm a big believer in keeping actual peer-reviewed standards in place.
