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.
q2 i? Residents in the simulator-based educational programme scored higher than controls on operating-theatre assessment (P = 0.01). → Pelly T. 2021

q2 · i? · review · r2
Study of an elaborate box trainer for TEP repair tested on 21 surgical residents in control and training groups using videos and the moulded rubber hernia simulator; the review reports "higher composite scores on assessment than the control group (P = 0.01)". No effect size is printed.
"After the programme, the training groups were found to have higher composite scores on assessment than the control group (P = 0.01)."
