Bayesian hierarchical modeling of mucosal immune responses and growth efficiency in young animals: Demonstrating the superiority of data-dependent empirical priors.
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
The transition from milk to solid food during the weaning period exposes young animals to significant dietary and environmental stressors, which can profoundly affect mucosal immune responses and overall growth efficiency. This paper introduces a novel Bayesian hierarchical model to comprehensively assess the complex interactions between diet, environmental factors, intestinal microbiota, and immune markers in young animals' small intestines. The model integrates data at both individual and group levels, providing a robust framework to understand how these stressors influence immune responses and growth outcomes. This hierarchical Bayesian approach captures individual variability and group-level effects by employing sophisticated interaction terms and data-dependent empirical priors, offering high-resolution uncertainty quantification. The model's novelty lies in its ability to synthesize multiple sources of variability, offering insights that are not achievable through traditional statistical models.
