I don’t think 90% is an accurate number. Here’s a quote regarding a 2006 study that looked at how often mice results were replicated in humans.
“A 2006 review looked at studies where medical interventions were tested on animals and whether the results were replicated in human trials.
It showed that of the most-cited animal studies in prestigious scientific journals, such as Nature and Cell, only 37% were replicated in subsequent human randomised trials and 18% were contradicted in human trials. It is safe to assume that less-cited animal studies in lesser journals would have an even lower strike rate.”
