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 i3 Pooled analysis of 15 studies (1198 BOPPPS, 1122 control participants) found significantly higher final examination scores in the BOPPPS group (SMD 1.14, 95% CI 0.84–1.43, P < 0.001), a large effect by Cohen's guidelines. → Zhu Jing 2025

Random-effects meta-analysis of 15 studies comparing BOPPPS with traditional teaching in undergraduate clinical and health disciplines. The pooled effect size was SMD = 1.14 (95% CI 0.84–1.43), which the authors interpret as "a large effect" under Cohen's guidelines; a prediction interval of [0.35, 1.93] was reported.
"Significant improvement in final examination scores was noted within the BOPPPS group when compared to the control group (SMD 1.14, 95% CI 0.84–1.43; P < 0.001; Fig. 3) with heterogeneity of 91% (P < 0.001)."
