"Almost never" is an oxymoron that negates the meanings of these words. "My grandfather was almost never killed by mesothelioma, until that one time in the 80s." Try "rarely" instead, for the effect you want.

Also, the usage of the "almost never" does make sense in the context of the study abstract and the article discussing the study. Whereas your example is over the top.
That said I do prefer "rarely" per your suggestion but I didn't write the article and I chose to retain the Original, Journalistic title when submitting the article due to reading the journalist informed take on the study.
