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? The pooled OSATS Specific mean difference was −4.81 points (95% CI [−6.43, −3.29], p < 0.005), but with high heterogeneity (I2 = 71%) and significant Egger's test, the outcome was excluded from GRADE assessment. → Xiong Jian 2024

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis of three studies reporting OSATS Specific scores. The pooled estimate favored AR, but "due to high heterogeneity (I2 = 71%)" the outcome was excluded from GRADE, and Egger's test was significant (P = 0.0047), suggesting publication bias.

"The OSATS Specific score indicated a mean difference of −4.81 points (95% CI [−6.43, −3.29], p < 0.005)"
