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? Significant protective associations with cognitive function were observed for vegetable intake in both cohorts, and for nut intake and moderate alcohol intake in AREDS2. → Keenan Tiarnán D. 2020

q3 · i? · associational · r3
Cross-sectional component analyses (Figure 3) regressing cognitive outcomes on quartiles of each of the nine aMED components separately, with Bonferroni-corrected significance. The article reports "significant protective associations were observed for vegetable intake in both AREDS and AREDS2"; no effect sizes are printed for these components.
"In addition, significant protective associations were observed for vegetable intake in both AREDS and AREDS2, and for nut intake and moderate alcohol intake in AREDS2."
