Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 ADHD children produced a greater number of responses than controls on the Fluency subtest, with a large partial η² effect size. → Gonzalez-Carpio 2017

q3 · i3 · associational · r2
One-factor ANOVA comparing 34 ADHD children with 34 matched controls on TTCT-Figurative scores; the ADHD group's mean Fluency was "116.09 ± 9.11" versus 100.9 ± 12.05 for controls, F = 34.331, p = 0.000, partial η² = 0.343 (large).
"Fluency 116.09 ± 9.11 100.9 ± 12.05 34.331 0.000* 0.343"
