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 i? Child cognitive flexibility at preschool and kindergarten did not significantly predict maternal emotional or cognitive support at the following wave. → Zeytinoglu 2019

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Reverse cross-lagged paths in the final panel model (N = 278) testing child-to-parent effects were non-significant (Table 4 prints p values from .064 to .927); the article reports "Child cognitive flexibility did not predict maternal behaviors." No effect size was printed.
"Child cognitive flexibility did not predict maternal behaviors. The same paths remained statistically significant when the outliers on the cognitive flexibility task were removed from the sample."
