The review reports Coffey et al.'s survey percentages on high-fidelity simulation: "98.9% strongly agreed that HFS enhanced their learning" and 99.3% found it valuable. These are descriptive percentages, not effect sizes.

"98.9% strongly agreed that HFS enhanced their learning; 97.2% said it developed their clinical reasoning skills; 96.9% reported developing their clinical decision-making ability; and the majority (99.3%) indicated that the HFS was a valuable experience"
