Bayesian hierarchical models and prior elicitation for fitting psychometric functions.
Article in Frontiers in computational neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Our previous articles demonstrated how to analyze psychophysical data from a group of participants using generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) and two-level methods. The aim of this article is to revisit hierarchical models in a Bayesian framework. Bayesian models have been previously discussed for the analysis of psychometric functions although this approach is still seldom applied. The main advantage of using Bayesian models is that if the prior is informative, the uncertainty of the parameters is reduced through the combination of prior knowledge and the experimental data. Here, we evaluate uncertainties between and within participants through posterior distributions. To demonstrate the Bayesian approach, we re-analyzed data from two of our previous studies on the tactile discrimination of speed. We considered different methods to include
