  In Nat Commun 13, 3194 (2022) [1], Minkov et al. reported magnetization
measurements on hydrides under pressure that claimed to find a diamagnetic
signal below a critical temperature demonstrating the existence of
superconductivity. Here we present an analysis of raw data recently released
[2] by the authors of [1] that shows that the measured data do not support
their claim that the samples exhibit a diamagnetic response indicative of
superconductivity. We also point out that Ref. [1] in its original form omitted
essential information that resulted in presentation of a distorted picture of
reality, and that important information on transformations performed on
measured data remains undisclosed. Our analysis also calls into question the
conclusions of Minkov et al's trapped flux experiments reported in Nat. Phys.
(2023) [3] as supporting superconductivity in these materials. This work
together with earlier work implies that there is no magnetic evidence for the
existence of high-temperature superconductivity in hydrides under pressure.
