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? In regression analyses excluding the five better-hearing children, age at implantation accounted for a significant amount of the variance in word-learning performance. → Derek M. Houston 2012

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Regression analyses were rerun without the five better-hearing subjects. Pre-CI hearing did not contribute significantly, but age at implantation accounted for a significant amount of the variance; a scatterplot is displayed in Figure 3b.
"In this set of analyses, amount of pre-CI hearing did not contribute significantly to the variability in word-learning performance. However, age at implantation did account for a significant amount of the variance in these analyses."
