to research something from something

I should, perhaps, not have implied that the study itself was untrustworthy. What I was saying was that the way the marketing text was worded would risk giving that impression. The impression produced by the introduction would affect whether or not the reader continued to read and to look at the study. The effect that the text would produce on me would be that the study was untrustworthy and that I would not continue to read.

I am, indeed, assuming an uneducated population (but note that I said the register "MAY" be appropriate). I also thought what the asker has now suggested: that the study may be perfectly serious and professional and should not be judged on what someone else wrote about it in an informal context. And yes, in the marketing context, I like your version, with "check out." "Actual" certainly reads better than "real," though it doesn't actually (!) add any meaning to the text.

I'm very grateful for your answer and your suggested improvements, which are spot-on! At the same time, I'm taken aback by how judgmental you appear to be about this. The study was conducted by an independent research company, but this piece of promotional text was written by someone else who's a non-native speaker of English. I agree it doesn't look good, and that's why I asked for help here. But to infer from this, and to imply openly, that the study is untrustworthy doesn't seem logical or fair.

You seem to be assuming a very uneducated population for the advertising campaign, which is certainly what this appears to be. I think that even advertising needs to be at a rather higher level or risk seeming ridiculous and untrustworthy. On the other hand, as they probably are untrustworthy, why help them to look any different?

Nonetheless, what about my suggested rewrite of the second bit of gush: "Check out this new, independent study based on a sample of actual users"?

Is this text meant to be used in an advertising campaign? Then the informal register in which it was written may be appropriate. A general readership will probably understand it, and may be favorably impressed by the mere existence of a study.

OR, is this text meant to be part of a formal article about the study, perhaps to be published in an academic or peer-reviewed journal? In that case, it should be written in a more formal register. The phrasing suggested by Patricia Fierro and B D Finch would be more appropriate.

to me, as an ENS, the answer is quite clearly "yes".
