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 i2 After 12 weeks, the balance group showed higher adjusted memory scores than the relaxation group (d = 0.47). → Rogge 2017

In the randomized controlled trial, ANCOVA of posttest memory (auditory verbal paired-associate learning) adjusted for pretest and age showed the balance group higher than relaxation: "group difference = 1.60, 95% CI = [0.05, 3.05], d = 0.47".

"A significant effect of group, F (1, 35) = 4.40, p = 0.043, was found for the memory score. After training, the adjusted mean of the balance group was higher than the mean of the relaxation group (group difference = 1.60, 95% CI = [0.05, 3.05], d = 0.47, see Fig. 3)."
