The pepper gun effect of numerous links but hardly any traffic is probably one of the "flags" that google looks for when deciding how to rank your page but unless you work for google, the above is pure conjecture.
what you can be sure of is that links from realting articles will drive more relevant traffic to your site, increasing the possibility of repeat visitors (as you already know they are interested in the subject and not just "stumbling" across your site).
This in turn shows search engines that you are more popular, and as such will effect you rankings.
