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? From Posttest 1 to Posttest 2 the COG group improved by a further 4.6 points, whereas TRAD and CTRL deteriorated minimally (0.47 and 0.07 of a point). → Jakub Bielak 2010

Delayed-posttest comparison in the quasi-experiment. The article reports COG gains "kept increasing from Posttest 1 to Posttest 2 to yield an improvement of 4.6 points", while TRAD deteriorated by 0.47 of a point and CTRL by 0.07 of a point; descriptive values only, no effect size printed.
"This is different from the gains of COG, which were not just maintained but kept increasing from Posttest 1 to Posttest 2 to yield an improvement of 4.6 points."
