  Primary: authors!
  secondary: reviewers and editors

  Peer reviewers have much less skin in the game than do the authors. Peer reviewers work for free and often read just enough of the paper to be able to offer their opinion. 
• Journal editors

  The editors are the ultimate filter before a manuscript is published. they should be held accountable for inaccuracies found in abstract.
• Authors

  Authors are the ones with most information about the paper and they should be the ones that can synthesize knowledge presented in their work in the most concise and clear way possible.
• Peer reviewers

  The peer reviewers do the approval before the paper is published and they must review the abstract.

  I was not misled only by the Abstract, but poor description of the method.

   The authors are the ones who write the abstract, so they have the most direct control over the content. It’s their responsibility to ensure that the abstract accurately summarizes the key findings, methodology, and limitations of the study.  They must avoid overstating conclusions, cherry-picking results, or omitting important limitations. The abstract should provide a true reflection of the study.

  Authors are responsible for the data
• Peer reviewers

  I would say Authors first, but they are the ones choosing what to put in the abstract, so I would say those who have to ensure that the abstract is accurate are the reviewers, as they have access to all information, they could decide whether the content of the abstract ois accurate.
