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 adjustment for education, the odds ratios for cognitive impairment and estimates for cognitive scores remained significant and were only slightly attenuated in both cohorts. → Keenan Tiarnán D. 2020

q3 · i? · associational · r3
Sensitivity analyses (Table S4 in supporting information) repeating the cross-sectional models with additional adjustment for education level, plus mediation analyses. The article reports the associations "remained significant and were only slightly attenuated"; no adjusted effect sizes are printed.
"However, in both cohorts, after adjustment for education, the odds ratios for cognitive impairment and the estimates for cognitive function scores remained significant and were only slightly attenuated."
