You misunderstand what's going on. If I publish a paper people want to know what the data I found suggests and that's it.
A reader can then build there own chain of logic combining several papers with prior knowledge. Further, if someone retracts a paper they can update that chain of logic. But, if a paper is based on another paper that was retracted then it's chain of logic is suspect.
PS: Bayesian reasoning is fine for meta analysis though.
