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 i? After allowing for severity of hearing loss, the main effect of age of intervention on PLS-4 scores was not significant. → Ching Teresa Y. C. 2010

Ching Teresa Y. C., Crowe Kathryn, Martin Vivienne, Day Julia, Mahler Nicole, Youn Samantha, Street Laura, Cook Cassandra, Orsini Julia (2010).

q3 · i? · associational · r2
ANOVAs with PLS-4 AC and EC subscale scores as repeated measures, age of intervention (< 6 months vs. ≥ 6 months) as a categorical factor, and three-frequency average hearing loss as a continuous covariate. The article reports "the main effect of age of intervention was not significant (F[1,111] = .02, p = .8)"; separate ANOVAs on PPVT, DEAP and CDI quotients were likewise non-significant. Equivalence was not tested.
"The analyses revealed that the main effect of age of intervention was not significant (F[1,111] = .02, p = .8). Analyses of variance were carried out with PPVT scores, DEAP scores, and CDI language quotients separately, all showing that age of intervention was not significant (p = .8; p = .7; and p = .5 respectively)."
