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 i1 A one-way ANOVA on BNT raw scores across third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade word-reading levels showed significant group differences, with the fifth-grade group outperforming the third-grade group. → Hall 2012

q3 · i1 · associational · r2
ANOVA comparing BNT Total Scores across three word-reading-level groups (n = 103, 78, 51). The omnibus test was significant, F(2, 229) = 3.22, p = .042, η2 = .027; post hoc tests showed only the 3rd-vs-5th contrast was significant (mean difference 2.84, p = .023).
"Results showed significant group differences, F(2, 229) = 3.22, p = .042, η2 = .027. Post hoc analyses revealed a significant difference between the 3rd and 5th grade groups with a mean difference of 2.84 (p = .023), with the 5th-grade group performing better on the BNT."
