Uncertainty and precaution in hunting wolves twice in a year: Reanalysis of Treves and Louchouarn: Reply to Stauffer et al.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Stauffer et al. (2024) present an alternative approach to modeling a one-year change in the wolf population of the state of Wisconsin, USA. They found an error in the code in Treves & Louchouarn 2022, which we corrected. It did not change that paper's conclusions. However, Stauffer et al. accept the state of Wisconsin's estimate for wolf abundance in 2022, which is based on undescribed methods, unshared data, lacks peer review, and depends on a method we have criticized for imprecision, inaccuracy, insensitivity to changing conditions, and irreproducibility. An occupancy model constructed and validated for a period several years after legal wolf-killing is a dubious basis for estimating wolf abundance one year after unprecedented, legal wolf-killing. Finally, undisclosed data continue to mar the work of state-funded scientists.
