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? The ANCOVA on test anxiety showed no significant difference between the experimental and control groups (F = 1.78, η2 = 0.02). → Angxuan Chen 2024
