The Lancet isn't saying that the inference was wrong but that the conclusion of the inference is wrong. There's not really a better way to say that; "some readers may have inferred, wrongly" is synonymous, and "may have inferred that the Lancet, wrongly" implies that the Lancet failed to recognize these achievements, which it did not (it merely failed to mention them).

Leave the whole part about readers out of it. "The Lancet failed to recognise..."
Well, that's specifically what they're saying they didn't do.
