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 i? ADHD patients scored significantly lower on the modified Myklebust learning disability scale than controls (P < 0.000). → Mohamed A. Ahmed 2014

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Case-control comparison of 40 ADHD children (mean age 7.68 ± 1.64 years) versus 20 normal controls using the modified Myklebust learning disability scale (cut point 1.98). Patients scored "2.81" (SD 0.51) versus control "3.52" (SD 0.39), P < 0.000.
"Patients with ADHD showed significant lower level of learning disability score in patient in comparison to control group (P < 0.000) (Table 1)."
